BackgroundCerebrovascular and hypertensive diseases are among the main causes of death
worldwide. However, there are limited data about the trends of these
diseases over the years.ObjectiveTo evaluate the temporal trends in mortality rates and proportional mortality
from cerebrovascular and hypertensive diseases according to sex and age in
Brazil between 1980 and 2012.MethodsWe evaluated the underlying causes of death between 1980 and 2012 in both
sexes and by age groups for circulatory diseases (CD), cerebrovascular
diseases (CBVD), and hypertensive diseases (HD). We also evaluated death due
to all causes (AC), external causes (EC), and ill-defined causes of death
(IDCD). Data on deaths and population were obtained from the Department of
Information Technology of the Unified Health System (Departamento de
Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde, DATASUS/MS). We
estimated crude and standardized annual mortality rates per 100,000
inhabitants and percentages of proportional mortality rates.ResultsWith the exception of EC, the mortality rates per 100,000 inhabitants of all
other diseases increased with age. The proportional mortality of CD, CBVD,
and HD increased up to the age range of 60-69 years in men and 70-79 years
in women, and reached a plateau in both sexes after that. The standardized
rates of CD and CBVD declined in both sexes. However, the HD rates showed
the opposite trend and increased mildly during the study period.ConclusionDespite the decline in standardized mortality rates due to CD and CBVD, there
was an increase in deaths due to HD, which could be related to factors
associated with the completion of the death certificates, decline in IDCD
rates, and increase in the prevalence of hypertension.

“…Em um estudo retrospectivo utilizando dados de mortalidade fornecidos no banco de dados de domínio público do Ministério da Saúde no período que contemplou 1995 a 2005 cruzou os valores globais de mortalidade específica do AVE tendo como base censo populacional de 2.015.146 habitantes do Distrito Federal. Como resultados, as mulheres apresentaram um grande aumento das chances de adquirir AVE. Em pacientes idosos o risco é três vezes maior em comparação às demais faixas etárias (PINHEIRO, VIANNA, 2012).…”
As doenças cerebrovasculares e cardíacas estão ligadas diretamente com a qualidade e hábitos de vida que as pessoas possuem. A prevenção é essencial para que se promova uma sociedade mais consciente dos riscos que podem cursar com essas doenças. Assim, objetivou-se relacionar as pontuações totais e parciais obtidas no questionário QSAVI-AVE quanto ao sexo, raça, renda, faixa etária e comparou a pontuação total dos adultos entrevistados com a pontuação de corte obtida por pacientes acometidos por AVE. Para este estudo, uma amostra de 471 indivíduos considerados saudáveis, acima de 30 anos, que residiam ou visitavam a cidade de Porto Velho, responderam corretamente ao instrumento QSAVE-AVE e os resultados foram comparados tendo como nota de corte 68 pontos onde valores iguais ou acima destes sãos indicativos de maiores chances de desenvolver o AVE. Observou-se que as mulheres apresentam maiores risco. A raça parda e a renda de 1,5 salário mínimo mensal foram características da população. O sexo feminino, a faixa etária que contempla de 30 a 59 anos e as rendas mais baixas e a mais alta apresentaram maiores risco para desenvolver a doença. Existe uma diversidade em cada região do país, porém estudos corroboram com os achados encontrados nesta pesquisa. Conclui-se que mulheres, indivíduos de baixa renda e pardos são características sociodemográficas da amostra e o sexo feminino, as faixas etárias que contemplam de 30 a 59 anos e rendas mais baixas e a mais alta possuem risco mais elevado para desenvolver o AVE.
“…Stroke is classified as ischemic, when there is blockage of the blood flow within vessels caused by embolus or blood clot, or as hemorrhagic, due to the leakage of blood into the extracellular space. Studies have evaluated the incidence of CVA in the population, discovering predominance in people above 30 years and with more frequent deaths in women (Pinheiro & Vianna, 2012).…”
SUMMARY:The present work aimed to preserve anatomical specimens to improve the quality of education, prepare supporting materials, and present lectures on the anatomy of the nervous system for public school students. Anatomical specimens related to the nervous system were photographed and named, and acrylic containers filled with formaldehyde were made for the accommodation of these specimens. After research on the subject a handbook and a banner were prepared, enriching the collections of the museum along with the anatomical specimens, in addition to the lecture and video available on "iptv.usp.br ". Meetings between the students, the teachers involved, and the members of the Secretariat of Education of Ribeirao Preto defined schools, dates, times, and duration for the lectures. A great interest and curiosity on the part of the students who attended the lectures has led to the identification of the structures of the body and correlated them with their functions as well as some of the most common illnesses. This project also explained doubts about psychotropic drugs, which in Brazil are highly diffused and awakened reflection on the importance of prevention of diseases and the risk of drugs to their users. It is concluded that the present work has enabled the extension of acquired university knowledge for the community of this city, securing the principles of culture and extension.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
