To describe the prevalence of common mental disorders according to sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle and medical conditions among residents of urban areas of Feira de Santana, Bahia.
A cross-sectional study was carried out, including a random sample of the urban population over the age of 15 years of Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil. We used a form to attain information on sociodemographic factors, lifestyle and disease frequency. The SRQ-20 was used to measure common mental disorders (CMD). Statistical analysis adopted the p< 0.05 significance level; prevalence ratios and respective 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
We studied 3,597 individuals, 71.4% female. The global prevalence of CMD was 29.9%. Data analysis revealed that sociodemographic characteristics (sex, education, income), lifestyle and clinical conditions were associated with the prevalence of CMD.
The study allowed us to estimate the prevalence of CMD among the urban population of a municipality located in Northeastern Brazil and to identify the characteristics associated with CMD prevalence that may interfere with mental health. In this sense, municipal healthcare policies should include actions aimed to encourage participation in leisure activities as well as campaigns to control smoking and chronic diseases.
根据社会人口学特征、生活方式和健康状况，描述巴西巴伊亚州费拉德桑塔纳市区居民常见精神障碍的患病率。
开展一项横断面研究，对巴西巴伊亚州费拉德桑塔纳市15岁以上的城市人口进行随机抽样。我们使用一份表格来获取有关社会人口学因素、生活方式和疾病频率的信息。采用SRQ - 20量表来测量常见精神障碍（CMD）。统计分析采用p < 0.05的显著性水平；计算患病率比及其相应的95%置信区间。
我们研究了3597人，其中71.4%为女性。CMD的总体患病率为29.9%。数据分析显示，社会人口学特征（性别、教育程度、收入）、生活方式和临床状况与CMD的患病率相关。
该研究使我们能够估计巴西东北部一个城市的城市人口中CMD的患病率，并确定与CMD患病率相关的可能影响心理健康的特征。从这个意义上说，市政医疗政策应包括旨在鼓励参与休闲活动的行动以及控制吸烟和慢性病的宣传活动。
