“…An earlier study also showed that an increase in total cholesterol was associated with an older age. 25,[33][34][35][36][37] In line with earlier studies, the current study showed that being overweight increases the odds of hypercholesterolemia. 13,26,28,34,38,39 This might be because a higher level of BMI can be attributed to metabolic insulin resistance and an excess of visceral fat.…”

Background Unhealthy lifestyles and physical inactivity are among the contributing factors of hypercholesterolemia. This study assessed the prevalence, awareness of risk factors, and prevention and treatment of hypercholesterolemia among adults who visited Woldia referral hospital, Northeast Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among adults who visited Woldia referral hospital from May to August 2022. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire through a face-to-face interview and patient medical record review. Logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the association between hypercholesterolemia and other variables. A p-value at a 95% confidence level was statistically significant. Results A total of 1180 eligible adults were included in the study. The magnitude of hypercholesterolemia was 26.4%. The majority of the respondents were aware of some risk factors, such as higher fat intake (82.3%), obesity (67.2%), and lack of adequate exercise (56.1%). However, the majority of the respondents were not aware that smoking, alcohol consumption, and age (86.8% for all) had cardiovascular risk. The majority of the respondents were aware that eating a limited amount of saturated fat (56.5%), maintaining a healthy weight (67.2%), and taking prescribed medications properly (86.8%) can prevent the risk of hypercholesterolemia. However, a larger proportion of respondents were unaware that smoking cessation (86.8%), exercise (55.3%), alcohol restriction (86.8%), and stress avoidance (75.3%) can prevent cardiovascular risks. Age (p = 0.036), smoking (p = 0.007), alcohol use (p = 0.013), fruit consumption (p = 0.019), saturated oil use (p = 0.031), level of physical activity (p < 0.001), and body mass index (p = 0.03) were significantly associated with hypercholesterolemia. Conclusion This study concluded that more than one-fourth of adults had hypercholesterolemia. The majority of the respondents did not have an awareness of common cardiovascular risk factors and prevention and treatment techniques regarding unhealthy lifestyles and physical inactivity.

“…O valor encontrado para o colesterol total é maior em todos os grupos, inclusive no SEM, do que o detectado para a população brasileira por Malta et al 26 , que foi de 185 mg/dL, após análise dos dados laboratoriais da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde. Esse resultado pode ser advindo de hábitos culturaisdietéticos da população local avaliada no estudo.…”

Introdução: O diabete mellitus (DM) e a hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) são doenças crônicas não-transmissíveis que se associam a alto risco de mortalidade. Objetivo: Analisar o perfil laboratorial de pessoas com DM e HAS acompanhados na atenção primária à saúde. Método: Estudo descritivo e transversal, com a amostra de 345 pessoas em acompanhamento pelas estratégias de saúde da família pertencentes a duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde da zona urbana do município de Santarém, Pará, Brasil. Os participantes foram divididos em quatro grupos conforme diagnóstico: HAS; DM; ambas (DM-HAS); ou nenhuma (SEM). Foram coletadas informações socioeconômicas e clínicas dos participantes, com posterior coleta de sangue para as variáveis bioquímicas. Para a análise de dados foi realizada a estatística descritiva e inferencial, adotando-se significância de p<0,05. Resultados: Em todos os grupos predominaram participantes do sexo feminino, casados, pardos, com renda até dois salários, com 4-7 anos de estudo, não tabagistas e não estilistas. Em relação ao SEM, o DM se associou com valores alterados para glicose (p<0,0001), HDL-c (p=0,0481), ureia (p=0,0252), creatinina (p=0,0006) e hemoglobina (p=0,0024). Já o DM-HAS se associou com a presença de alteração para glicose (p<0,0001), ureia (p=0,0009), creatinina (p=0,0059) e taxa de filtração glomerular (p=0,0048). Conclusão: Conclui-se, conforme o método proposto, que a presença da DM e/ou HAS são capazes de modificar o perfil bioquímico de maneira negativa, bem como se ressalta a importância do acompanhamento desta pessoa pela atenção primária à saúde, visto que algumas pessoas apresentaram alterações bioquímicas que chamam atenção e não estão em acompanhamento.

“…Given the signi cant growth of chronic non communicable diseases (NCDs) in the country, NCDs deserved speci c attention in the survey, as did the associated risk factors, including tobacco and alcohol use, physical activity, and eating habits (10). Complementarily, in its rst edition, the PNS-2013 included anthropometric and blood pressure measurements, as well as blood and urine collection, to further knowledge on some key biological markers in the Brazilian population (11)(12).…”

Background Population surveys involving the monitoring of high-risk sexual behavior have been recognized as important public health tools to control the HIV epidemic and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).Methods Using data from the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices survey (PCAP-2013) and from the National Health Survey (PNS), indicators of sexual behavior were compared according to sociodemographic characteristics, including size (%) estimates of men who have sex with men (MSM) and women who have sex with women (WSW). To compare PCAP and PNS proportional distributions, the Pearson's chi-square test, adjusted by the Rao-Scott’s correction, was applied. Using data from the PNS-2019, experience of violence (verbal, physical, and sexual) was analyzed according to sexual orientation. Odds ratios (OR) were estimated by logistic regression models using each type of violence as the response variable and sexual orientation (heterosexual, homosexual/bisexual) as the independent variable.Results Size (%) estimates of MSM and WSW, obtained by direct questions from the PCAP-2013, showed lower homosexuality prevalence estimates than those resulting from the PNS-2019 self-declared sexual orientation. Significant differences were found between the MSM proportions according to the PCAP-2013 (3.7%; 95% CI 3.1–4.4%) and to the PNS-2019 (2.2%; 95% CI 1.9–2.5), and between the WSW proportions (4.6%; 95% CI 4.0-5.4%) and (2.1%; 95% CI 1.8–2.4), respectively. Regarding condom use at last sexual intercourse, no differences between the PCAP-2013 and the PNS-2019 estimates were found at the national level, but significant improvements were found for MSM, people aged 18–24 and 25–34 years, and individuals not living with a partner. Violence-related indicators showed that over 40% of homosexual/bisexual men and women have suffered some type of violence in the past 12 months. Regarding sexual violence, at least once in a lifetime, prevalence was 18.1% among MSM, with 10-fold greater odds (9.9; 95% CI 6.7–14.8) than that of heterosexual men. Among WSW, prevalence was 25.6%, with an estimated OR of 3.3 (95% CI 2.4–4.3).Conclusions The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring HIV/STI risk-related practices and violence experienced by sexual minorities at subnational levels in order to strengthen public policies focused on overcoming the persistent homophobic prejudice in the Brazilian society.
