The aim of this study was to describe the anthropometric characteristics, eating habits, and lifestyle of non-village indigenous women living in Manaus, AM, and their association with hypertension.
This cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study was carried out from January 2020 to December 2021 using a questionnaire for clinical, sociodemographic, and behavioral data. Non-pregnant women who belonged to Parque das Tribos for more than a year, declared themselves indigenous, and were over 18 years of age were included in the study.
In total, 21 ethnicities were identified, and 95 indigenous women were evaluated. The average age group was 36±12.1 years, the average height was 157 cm, and the body mass index was 28.8 kg/m2. The prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension was ±40%, and 68.5% had excess weight, with 29.1% having class I obesity. In all, 35.8% consumed a lot of salt, sugar, and industrialized foods, and 88.4% were sedentary.
Much of the sample presented excess weight, and almost all were sedentary. More than one-third had unappropriated eating habits. Hypertension was present in more than one-third of these indigenous women. There was an association between higher body mass index and hypertension. Knowing the characteristics of this group of non-village indigenous women may help determine the best health approach. The data demonstrate the necessity of preventive measures.
本研究旨在描述生活在亚马孙州玛瑙斯市的非农村原住妇女的人体测量特征、饮食习惯和生活方式及其与高血压的关系。
这是一项 2020 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月期间进行的横断面（描述性分析）研究，使用问卷收集临床、社会人口学和行为数据。本研究纳入了在 Parque das Tribos 居住超过一年、自称原住民且年龄在 18 岁以上的非妊娠妇女。
共鉴定出 21 个民族，评估了 95 名原住女民。平均年龄组为 36±12.1 岁，平均身高为 157cm，体重指数为 28.8kg/m2。全身动脉高血压的患病率为±40%，超重率为 68.5%，其中 I 级肥胖率为 29.1%。总的来说，35.8%的人摄入了大量的盐、糖和工业化食品，88.4%的人久坐不动。
样本中大部分人超重，几乎所有人都久坐不动。超过三分之一的人饮食习惯不恰当。超过三分之一的这些原住女民患有高血压。体重指数较高与高血压之间存在关联。了解这群非农村原住女民的特征可能有助于确定最佳的健康方法。这些数据表明有必要采取预防措施。
