Estimate the prevalence of hypertension and some cardiovascular risk factors in the adult population of a major city in Brazil.
Descriptive, observational, transversal population-based study substantiated by the home survey of a simple random sample (>18 years old). Standardized questionnaires were used to obtain sociodemographic information, measurements of blood pressure (2 measurements), weight, height, and abdominal circumference (AC). Microsoft Access and Epi Info 6 were used for data storage and analysis, respectively. The last blood pressure reading was used (hypertension: BP>140 x 90 mm Hg).
The study evaluated 1,739 individuals (87% of the estimated sample). There was a predominance of females (65.4%) and mean age was 39.7 years (+/- 15.6); arterial hypertension prevalence was 36.4%, higher for the male population (41.8%) when compared to females (31.8%). Correlation between Hypertension and Body Mass Index was positive, as well as with AC and age. The female gender and higher income were protective factors against hypertension. There was no correlation with schooling. Prevalence of overweight and obesity were 30.0% and 13.6%, respectively; overweight was higher among females and obesity among males. The prevalence of smoking was 20.1%, more frequent among males (27.1%), when compared to females (16.4%). A sedentary lifestyle was observed in 62.3% of the population, with no difference between the genders. Regular alcohol consumption was reported by 44.4% of the individuals, being more frequent in males.
Hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors (particularly overweight/obesity) indicators are high, reinforcing the need for objective nationwide measures to fight this disease, in order to reduce CVD morbidity and mortality.
评估巴西某主要城市成年人口中高血压及一些心血管危险因素的患病率。
基于简单随机抽样（>18岁）的家庭调查开展描述性、观察性横断面人群研究。使用标准化问卷获取社会人口学信息、血压测量值（测量两次）、体重、身高和腹围（AC）。分别使用Microsoft Access和Epi Info 6进行数据存储和分析。采用最后一次血压读数（高血压：血压>140×90 mmHg）。
该研究评估了1739名个体（占估计样本的87%）。女性占主导（65.4%），平均年龄为39.7岁（±15.6）；动脉高血压患病率为36.4%，男性人群（41.8%）高于女性（31.8%）。高血压与体重指数、腹围和年龄呈正相关。女性性别和较高收入是预防高血压的保护因素。与受教育程度无关。超重和肥胖的患病率分别为30.0%和13.6%；女性超重情况更严重，男性肥胖情况更严重。吸烟患病率为20.1%，男性（27.1%）比女性（16.4%）更常见。62.3%的人群有久坐不动的生活方式，男女之间无差异。报告有规律饮酒的个体占44.4%，男性更常见。
高血压和其他心血管危险因素（尤其是超重/肥胖）指标较高，这进一步表明需要在全国范围内采取客观措施来防治这种疾病，以降低心血管疾病的发病率和死亡率。
