To identify the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and associated risk factors in long-lived elderly people from three Brazilian regions.
This is a multicenter, cross-sectional, and comparative study conducted with elderly people aged 80 years or older.
Higher prevalence of arterial hypertension were observed among those who use polypharmacy (75.7%), among elderly people aged between 80 and 84 years (33.9%), as well as in elderly people who are overweight (78.2%). The prevalence of diabetes was 24% (RP: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.59-0.98) lower among women compared to men and 2.15 times higher among those who use five or more medications (RP: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.63-2.85).
In our sample, polypharmacy, body weight, and gender determine the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases: arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus in long-lived elderly people.
确定三个巴西地区长寿老年人中常见的非传染性慢性病（动脉高血压、糖尿病和相关危险因素）的流行情况。
这是一项多中心、横断面和比较研究，研究对象为 80 岁及以上的老年人。
观察到使用多种药物的老年人（75.7%）、80-84 岁的老年人（33.9%）以及超重的老年人（78.2%）中动脉高血压的患病率更高。与男性相比，女性的糖尿病患病率低 24%（RR：0.76；95%CI：0.59-0.98），使用五种或更多药物的老年人患病率高 2.15 倍（RR：2.15；95%CI：1.63-2.85）。
在我们的样本中，多种药物、体重和性别决定了长寿老年人中非传染性慢性病（动脉高血压和糖尿病）的流行情况。
