Indigenous peoples in Brazil are experiencing rapid epidemiologic and nutritional transition, with non-communicable diseases such as hypertension emerging in their health profile. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 9 Suruí Indian villages (n-251 subjects) in Rondônia, Brazilian Amazon, in 2005, in order to assess blood pressure levels in adults (>20 years of age), as well as to investigate its possible relationship with nutritional and socioeconomic status (SES). Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were higher in men. On average, an increase in SBP of 7.9 mmHg and of 1.4 mmHg in women and men, respectively, was detected. SBP was positively correlated with waist-hip ratio (WHR) in both sexes and with age in women. DBP showed statistically significant correlations with all anthropometric variables, except height and arm muscle area. The prevalence of hypertension was 2.8% (M: 2.4%, F: 3.1%), being higher in subjects > 40 years with PC or high WHR, especially in women and also in the group that manifested lower SES. The study concludes that hypertension is an emerging health problem among the Suruí.
巴西的原住民正在经历快速的流行病学和营养转型，高血压等非传染性疾病已出现在他们的健康状况中。2005年，在巴西亚马逊州朗多尼亚的9个苏鲁伊印第安村庄（251名受试者）开展了一项横断面研究，以评估成年人（>20岁）的血压水平，并调查其与营养和社会经济地位（SES）之间可能存在的关系。男性的平均收缩压（SBP）和舒张压（DBP）较高。平均而言，女性和男性的收缩压分别升高了7.9 mmHg和1.4 mmHg。收缩压在两性中均与腰臀比（WHR）呈正相关，在女性中与年龄呈正相关。舒张压与所有人体测量变量均存在统计学显著相关性，但身高和上臂肌肉面积除外。高血压患病率为2.8%（男性：2.4%，女性：3.1%），在患有PC或高腰臀比的40岁以上受试者中更高，尤其是女性，在社会经济地位较低的群体中也是如此。该研究得出结论，高血压是苏鲁伊族中一个新出现的健康问题。
