Associação entre hipertensão arterial e excesso de peso em adultos, Belém, Pará, 2005

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a major public health issue affecting 20 to 25% of the global population of adults, and 12 to 35 % of Brazilians. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between hypertension and overweight. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2005 with a probabilistic sampli...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between hypertension and overweight. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2005 with a probabilistic sampling of the population >18 years of age in Belém, capital of the state of Pará, in the Northern region of Brazil, using the telephone surveillance system for chronic diseases (SIMTEL). The dependent variable was hypertension, the explanatory variable was overweight and the confounding variables were age, level of education and lifestyle characteristics. The variables associated with hypertension were run through the regression logistic model and odds ratios were calculated for each variable. RESULTS: Hypertension affected 16.2% of men and 18.3% of women, and overweight affected 49.2% of men and 34.1% of women. The prevalence of hypertension was directly associated with age and overweight in both genders. Among men, hypertension was associated with intake of vegetables and low intake of beans (similar to kidney- and pinto-type beans); as for women, hypertension was associated with marital status (widow or separated), and inversely to education level. The risk of hypertension increased directly with weight for both genders (p<0.001), and it was 6.33 times higher among obese men and 3.33 among obese women as compared to normal-weight subjects. CONCLUSION: Overweight was associated with hypertension. However, variables such as age, education, and food consumption interfere in this relationship, creating circumstances favorable to reducing or increasing that risk. FUNDAMENTO: A hipertensão arterial constitui um grave problema de saúde pública, atingindo 20% a 25% da população adulta mundial e 12% a 35% da população brasileira. OBJETIVO: Avaliar associação entre hipertensão arterial e excesso de peso. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal desenvolvido em 2005, com uma amostra probabilística da população >18 anos de Belém (PA), pelo SIMTEL (monitoramento de doenças crônicas por telefone). Considerou-se como variável desfecho: hipertensão; como variável explanatória: excesso de peso; como variáveis de confusão: idade, escolaridade e características de estilo de vida. As variáveis associadas com hipertensão arterial foram analisadas por regressão logística para cálculo de risco. RESULTADOS: A hipertensão arterial atingiu 16,2% dos homens e 18,3% das mulheres, e o excesso de peso, 49,3% e 34,0%, respectivamente. A prevalência de hipertensão arterial se associou diretamente com idade e com excesso de peso em ambos os sexos. Para os homens, se associou com consumo de frutas e hortaliças e baixo consumo de feijão; para as mulheres, com estado civil viúva ou separada e, inversamente, com escolaridade. O risco de hipertensão arterial aumentou com o peso em ambos os sexos (p<0,001), sendo na obesidade 6,33 vezes maior para os homens e 3,33 para as mulheres, comparativamente ao peso normal. CONCLUSÃO: O excesso de peso se associou com maior prevalência de hipertensão arterial, porém variáveis como idade, escolaridade e consumo alimentar interferem nessa associação, de modo a configurar contextos favoráveis à diminuição ou ao aumento desse risco. 2013-04-19T17:16:04Z 2013-04-19T17:16:04Z 2008-08 Artigo de Periódico BORGES, Hilma Paixão; CRUZ, Nilma do Carmo; MOURA, Erly Catarina.
