“…En la población urbana de México su prevalencia se estima en 25% 1 y en la población rural varía de 13% al 21%. [2][3][4] El control adecuado de las cifras de presión arterial (PA) en los pacientes con HAS aumenta su esperanza y calidad de vida; 5 sin embargo, uno de los problemas inherentes a su tratamiento es que la elevación de la PA no produce de manera habitual manifestaciones clínicas relevantes, por lo que el paciente puede tener la falsa impresión de que su enfermedad se encuentra controlada. 6 De esta manera, el fracaso de la terapia antihipertensiva es común y se relaciona sobre todo con la falta de apego al tratamiento, por lo que es prioritario desarrollar estrategias para determinar cuáles son los factores relacionados con ésta.…”

“…Twentyfour percent of the US adult population had hypertension, 1 whereas in the urban areas of Mexico the prevalence of hypertension reaches 25%, 2 and in the partly westernised Mexican rural communities it varies from 15% to 21%. 3,4 There is plenty of evidence to the fact that hypertension differs among racial groups. 1,[5][6][7] Many studies have suggested that African Americans, nonHispanic black, non-Hispanic white and Mexican American populations, have a higher prevalence of hypertension than whites.…”

The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension in adults indigenous to their traditional communities from the north of Mexico. The study was based on a crosssectional survey of inhabitants from Mexicaneros, Huicholes and Tepehuanos communities, which have not been influenced by a western lifestyle. A home interview and clinical examination that included blood pressure and anthropometric measurements of 217 men and 598 non-pregnant women aged between 35 to 64 years was carried out. Eligible indigenous subjects must have had no migratory history to partially or totally urbanised areas. Target population represented approximately 100% of the indigenous people who have spent all their life time in the community of birthplace. Age and body mass index average was 48.9 ± 12.9 years and 25.6 ± 5.1 kg/m 2 . Hypertension was identified in 56 indi-

“…No Chile (15), foram encontradas diferenças relacionadas ao nível socioeconômico (baixas condições: 24,5%, altas condições 17,9%). No México, foram encontradas diferenças dependendo das zonas de habitação: 30% nas zonas urbanas e 11,7% nas zonas rurais (16 A prevalência, o conhecimento, o tratamento e o controle da hipertensão foram melhores em áreas urbanas do que em comunidades rurais nos PIB e nos PIMB, mas isso não ocorreu nos PIA e PIMA. Em geral, 12,5% dos pacientes hipertensos tratados receberam dois ou mais medicamentos para baixar a PA, com uma tendência decrescente a partir dos países ricos para os países pobres (PIA 18,1%, PIMA 14,5%, PIMB 14,1%, PIB 1,6%; P < 0,0001).…”
