Surveillance of cardiovascular risk factors has been recommended worldwide. The current study aimed to estimate the prevalence of smoking, overweight/obesity, insufficient physical activity, arterial hypertension, and pre-hypertension among men covered by the Family Health Program in urban Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais State, in Southeast Brazil. A household survey was performed with a systematic sample of 217 men 20 to 49 years of age, from a list of residents within this age range. Prevalence of risk factors was high, with overweight/obesity the most frequent (43.3%; 95%CI: 36.6-50.2). Men classified as sedentary or with irregular physical activity totaled 28% (95%CI: 22.2-34.6). Smoking was reported by 25.3% (95%CI: 19.7-31.7). Overt hypertension was present in 24% (95%CI: 18.4-30.2) and borderline hypertension in 19.4% (95%CI: 14.3-25.2). Two or more simultaneous risk factors were found in 45.2% of the sample. The high prevalence rates suggest that health promotion strategies need to be intensified in the male population.
全球都建议对心血管危险因素进行监测。本研究旨在估算巴西东南部米纳斯吉拉斯州茹伊斯迪福拉市城区参与家庭健康计划的男性中吸烟、超重/肥胖、身体活动不足、动脉高血压和高血压前期的患病率。对年龄在20至49岁之间的217名男性居民进行了系统抽样的家庭调查。危险因素的患病率很高，超重/肥胖最为常见（43.3%；95%置信区间：36.6 - 50.2）。被归类为久坐不动或身体活动不规律的男性总计28%（95%置信区间：22.2 - 34.6）。报告有吸烟习惯的占25.3%（95%置信区间：19.7 - 31.7）。显性高血压的患病率为24%（95%置信区间：18.4 - 30.2），临界高血压为19.4%（95%置信区间：14.3 - 25.2）。45.2%的样本存在两种或更多种同时出现的危险因素。高患病率表明需要加强针对男性人群的健康促进策略。
