Abstract

Objective: To analyze the completion of the individual e-SUS registration form and identify the completion of the factors that correlate to the onset of diabetes mellitus. Methods: Descriptive study based on documents, in which the individual registration forms of users assigned to an area covered by the Family Health Strategy were used for analysis. Results: It was identified that data such as family history, anthropometric measurements, dietary components, and frequency of physical exercise are not addressed in the registration forms, factors considered predisposing to the disease. There is an underreporting of risk factors for diabetes mellitus since there is no adequate description of them. Conclusion: The individual registration forms of primary care show inconsistencies in the face of factors correlated to the development of metabolic diseases, especially DM, leading to an underreporting of these factors.
