Hipertensão arterial no Brasil: estimativa de prevalência a partir de estudos de base populacional

Abstract: ResumoEstudos epidemiológicos sobre a hipertensão arterial são fundamentais para conhecer a distribuição da exposição e do adoecimento e as condições que influenciam a dinâmica de risco e controle na comunidade. Este artigo analisa estudos de prevalência de hipertensão no Brasil, de base populacional, em adultos, a partir de 1990. Foram incluídos todos os estudos publicados nas bases Medline e LILACS. A análise considerou a população-alvo, o desenho do estudo, o plano amostral, as características sociodemográf… Show more

“…In general, studies present methodological differences (sample, population groups, age group, and diagnostic criteria) that make comparability more difficult. However, prevalence ranges from 15 to 40% in the urban adult Brazilian population [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . Due to the methodological difficulties to measure blood pressure in population studies, analyses that employ self-reported data have been used as a proxy measure, even if it is not gold-standard for the evaluation of blood pressure.…”

“…The prevalence of hypertension in Brazil, in a literature review by Pontes Neto et al 14 and Passos et al 15 varied between 20% and 44% and only 30% of hypertensive patients show blood pressure control 16 . Risk factors such as smoking, diabetes and dyslipidemia are the other major risk factors for CVD that are very prevalent in our population.…”
