Abstract: Objective: Evaluating the evidence of hypertension prevalence among indigenous populations in Brazil through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A search was performed by two reviewers, with no restriction of date or language in the databases of PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, Virtual Health Library and Capes Journal Portal. Also, a meta-regression model was designed in which the last collection year of each study was used as a moderating variable. Results: 23 articles were included in the review. No hyper… Show more

“…The prevalence of hypertension in the Brazilian indigenous population is quite varied; it is non-existent in the Yanomami Indians [ 9 ] and is prevalent in 29.5% of the indigenous reservation population of Aldeia Jaguapiru [ 10 ]. A meta-analysis review study that included 23 publications on the prevalence of hypertension among Brazilian natives reported that between 1966 and 2012, the prevalence of hypertension increased by 6.2%, with a 12% increase in the chance of an Indian presenting with hypertension in each year of the evaluation period [ 11 ]. In the indigenous populations in Brazil, other cardiovascular risk factors were also found, such as overweight [ 1 , 12 14 ], increased waist circumference [ 15 ], diabetes mellitus [ 12 , 13 ], hypertriglyceridemia [ 14 , 15 ], increased waist-to-hip ratio [ 16 ], hypercholesterolemia [ 17 , 18 ], sedentary lifestyle [ 19 ], smoking [ 20 ], and the ingestion of alcoholic beverages [ 21 , 22 ].…”

“…Provocou-se, pela adoção e a inclusão de comportamentos e valores produzidos a partir dos novos desafios do mundo atual, gerando modificações no modo de vida dos indígenas no Brasil, aceleramento em processos de adoecimento nessa população. 6 Causam-se, pela relação do índio com a sociedade não indígena, impactos em sua vida devido a mudanças de hábitos socioculturais, econômicos e principalmente no estilo de vida, mudanças intensas em relação à terra, trabalho, além de diminuição de atividades físicas e a dificuldade de acesso ao serviço de saúde. Induz-se isso ao aparecimento de DCNTs, como obesidade, Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS), Diabetes Mellitus (DM) e Síndrome Metabólica (SM).…”

“…Na Amazônia, os povos indígenas experimentam uma trajetória histórica de subordinação e desvantagem socioeconômica, num cenário de iniquidades que são traduzidas em piores indicadores de saúde, como alta mortalidade infantil, elevadas prevalências de desnutrição infantil, maiores taxas de morbidade e mortalidade por doenças infecto-parasitárias 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 . Entretanto, embora as doenças transmissíveis permaneçam como as principais causas de morbimortalidade indígena, observa-se o crescimento dos agravos externos e doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, com destaque para obesidade, hipertensão arterial, diabetes e neoplasias, no contexto de transição epidemiológica vivenciado por esses povos nas últimas décadas 10,11,12,13 .…”
