Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of self-reported diabetes and hypertension and their absolute numbers in Brazil. , and who responded positively to questions about high blood pressure and diabetes, were analyzed. Percentages of self-reported hypertension and diabetes, estimated in the sample, were projected to the Brazilian population, according to age, sex and nutritional status, using the direct standardization method. METHODS: RESULTS:Prevalence of diabetes was 5.3% higher in women (6.0% vs. 4.4%), vary… Show more

“…28 When specifically evaluating the elderly population, the prevalence of self-reported diabetes increased significantly, moving from 10.3% in 1998 to 16.1% in 2008, regardless of age and sex. 29 The data extracted from the VIGITEL survey indicate the self-reported prevalence at 5.3% in 2006, 21 compatible with that found in the 2008 PNAD.…”

“…Lastly, the estimated prevalence of DM originates from extrapolations using self-reported data, even if recent and with national coverage. 21 concluSIon In this Brazilian study that estimated the number of hospitalizations attributed to DM in the Unified Health System, the results not only express the importance of DM in terms of the use of health resources but also show that the study of hospitalizations considering only those with DM as the main diagnosis is not sufficient to assess the magnitude of the impact of the disease on public health services and society. The need to use different methodologies was reinforced, such as the attributable risk method, considering that variations in the prevalence of hospitalizations can be (*) Fractions attributable to chronic complications and general medical conditions calculated based on the self-reported prevalence from the VIGITEL survey (**) Fractions attributable to chronic complications and general medical conditions calculated based on the self-reported data expended to include the undiagnosed…”

“…On the other hand, the city of Palmas presented the lowers prevalence among all cities (12.9%), and that can be related to the high proportion of the young population in the city, which was created in the 1980s 22,23 . The North, Northeast and Center-West regions also have more young people in the composition of the population; therefore, there is lower prevalence of AH.…”
