ABSTRACT

RESUMO: Objetivo: Estimar as prevalências de uso de medicamento oral para tratamento de diabetes, bem como a distribuição das fontes de obtenção segundo variáveis sociodemográficas, nas capitais dos estados brasileiros e no Distrito Federal e sua evolução no período de 2012 a 2018. Métodos: Estudo transversal de base populacional com indivíduos de 20 anos ou mais que referiram diagnóstico médico de diabetes, entrevistados pelo Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico (Vigitel) de 2012 a 2018. Estimaram-se a prevalência de uso e a distribuição das fontes de obtenção segundo variáveis sociodemográficas (IC95%). Verificaram-se as diferenças entre as proporções pelo teste χ2 de Pearson (Rao-Scott), com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Houve aumento na prevalência de uso de medicamento oral para tratamento de diabetes de 77,4 para 85,2%, entre 2012 e 2018, e diminuição da obtenção nas farmácias de unidade de saúde do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) com aumento da obtenção nas farmácias populares. Conclusões: O SUS manteve-se como a principal fonte de obtenção de antidiabéticos orais no Brasil, financiando mais de 70% dos medicamentos orais para tratamento de diabetes no país, considerando as farmácias de unidades de saúde e as farmácias populares, mostrando, assim, a importância das políticas farmacêuticas públicas na garantia do acesso a medicamentos pela população brasileira e na diminuição das iniquidades no país. Contudo a migração da obtenção pelos usuários nas unidades de saúde do SUS para as farmácias populares sugere enfraquecimento da responsabilidade da atenção primária à saúde na oferta de medicamentos antidiabéticos orais, fragilizando o vínculo e o cuidado longitudinal.


ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the prevalence of use of oral medications for the treatment of diabetes, as well as the distribution of sources for obtaining according to sociodemographic variables, in the Brazilian states' capitals and in the Federal District, and their evolution from 2012 to 2018. Methods: Cross-sectional and population-based study with individuals aged ≥ 20 years who reported a medical diagnosis of diabetes, interviewed through Vigitel from 2012 to 2018. We estimated the prevalence of use and the distribution of sources for obtaining according to sociodemographic variables (95%CI). We checked differences among proportions using the Pearson's χ2 test (Rao-Scott), with a significance level of 5%. Results: There was an increase in the prevalence of use of oral medications for the treatment of diabetes from 77.4 to 85.2% between 2012 and 2018, and a decrease in obtaining in the Health Unit Pharmacies of the Unified Health System (SUS), while there was an increase in obtaining in Popular Pharmacies. Conclusions: In Brazil, SUS remained the main source for obtaining oral antidiabetic drugs, financing more than 70% of them in the country, considering the Health Unit Pharmacies and Popular Pharmacies, thereby showing the importance of public Pharmaceutical Policies in guaranteeing the access to medications by the Brazilian population, as well as in reducing inequities in the country. Nevertheless, the migration of obtaining by users from SUS Health Units to Popular Pharmacies suggests the weakening the responsibility of Primary Health Care in the provision oral antidiabetic drugs, thereby undermining the bond and the longitudinal care.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO: Objetivo: A prevalência de hipertensão arterial no Brasil e no mundo vem aumentando nas últimas décadas, sendo o uso de medicamentos uma das estratégias utilizadas no controle da doença. O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de uso e identificar as fontes de obtenção de anti-hipertensivos no Brasil, segundo variáveis sociodemográficas, comparando três períodos: 2011, 2014 e 2017. Métodos: Foram utilizados dados de indivíduos com idade ≥20 anos que referiram diagnóstico médico de hipertensão arterial, entrevistados pelo Vigitel nos anos de 2011, 2014 e 2017. Foi estimada a distribuição de frequências e as prevalências de uso de medicamentos, segundo variáveis sociodemográficas, de acordo com as fontes de obtenção, com intervalos de confiança de 95%. As diferenças entre as proporções foram verificadas pelo teste χ2 de Pearson (Rao-Scott), com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência de uso manteve-se estável (80%). Quanto às fontes de obtenção observou-se variação no período, indicando diminuição na obtenção por meio das Unidades de Saúde do SUS (44,2% em 2011; 30,5% em 2017). Esse decréscimo esteve acompanhado do aumento na obtenção pela Farmácia Popular (16,1% em 2011; 29,9% em 2017). A prevalência de obtenção por meio de farmácias privadas/drogarias mostrou estabilidade no período. Conclusões: A prevalência de uso de medicamentos se manteve alta e houve modificação no padrão de utilização segundo fontes de obtenção, evidenciando migração entre Unidades de Saúde do SUS para a Farmácia Popular, sugerindo redução da disponibilidade dos medicamentos pelas farmácias públicas de forma universal e gratuita.


ABSTRACT: Objective: The prevalence of hypertension in Brazil and worldwide has been increasing in recent decades, and drug therapy is one of the strategies used to control this condition. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of use and identify the sources for obtaining antihypertensive drugs in Brazil, according to sociodemographic variables, comparing three periods: 2011, 2014 and 2017. Methods: Data from individuals aged ≥20 years who reported a medical diagnosis of hypertension, interviewed by Vigitel in 2011, 2014 and 2017 were used. Frequency and prevalence of drug use in addition to the sources for obtaining medication were estimated by sociodemographic variables, with 95% confidence intervals. The differences between proportions were verified by Pearson's chi-square test (Rao-Scott), with a significance level of 5%. Results: The prevalence of antihypertensive drug use remained stable (80%). Regarding the sources for obtaining these medicines, there was variation in the period, indicating a decrease in usage through the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) (44.2% in 2011; 30.5% in 2017). This decrease was accompanied with increase in PFPB (16.1% in 2011; 29.9% in 2017). The prevalence of other sources for obtaining medicine (private pharmacies/drugstores) showed stability in the period. Conclusions: The prevalence of medication use remained high and there was a change in the pattern of use according to sources, demonstrating migration between SUS pharmacies to the PFPB, and suggesting a reduction in the availability of medicines from public pharmacies universally, and for free.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Identificar los factores de riesgo para violencia de pareja mediante análisis de los datos del sistema de vigilancia epidemiológica para violencia intrafamiliar (SIVIF) en el Quindío del año 2009. Materiales y Métodos Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, sobre 1.906 notificaciones del (SIVIF) del departamento del Quindío, Colombia, del año 2009, donde 583 (n=583) corresponden a casos donde el agredido y agresor eran parejas. Resultados Los principales municipios generaron la mayoría de los casos. Las mujeres, las más agredidas. Son frecuentes la violencia física, múltiple y sexual; la agresión con el propio cuerpo; la influencia de la ira, consumo de alcohol y drogas, celos, y problemas emocionales y psicológicos; agredidos y agresores ≤35 años; las mujeres agredidas amas de casa e informales; violencia psicológica, verbal o grave negligencia y las mujeres ≥35 años agredidas de forma reiterativa, y que no convivían en la misma residencia ni tampoco estaban casadas. Conclusiones No existen muchos estudios ni antecedentes acerca del tema, es una necesidad regional imperiosa, contar con ulteriores estudios, pues éste es un fenómeno social urbano y repetitivo marcado por la violencia física, sexual o múltiple, con víctimas mujeres jóvenes, más frecuente en personas con educación superior.(AU)


Objective Identify risk factors for intimate partner violence by analyzing data from the surveillance system to domestic violence (SIVIF) in Quindio, 2009. Materials and Methods We conducted a cross- sectional descriptive study, about 1,906 notifications SIVIF database in the department of Quindío, Colombia, in 2009, of which 583 (n=583) correspond to cases where the independent of marital relationship between the victim-offender was married, a number that was taken as sample size, analyzing 100 % of such cases as to the origin, receipt of notification, type of coexistence of the couple, circumstances through aggression also features assaulted/aggressor. Results The two main municipalities generated most cases. Women, the most abused. More common types of physical violence, multiple sexual aggression with the body of the offender, the influence of anger, alcohol and drugs, jealousy, and emotional and psychological problems, the people attacked and attackers ≤ 35 years; battered women housewives and informal psychological violence, verbal or gross negligence and women ≥35 years so repeatedly assaulted, and who were not living in the same residence nor were married. Conclusions There are many studies on the subject, even unprecedented in the region and in the national literature. It is imperative for the department of Quindio, further studies have to extend the present. Dating violence in Quindio, is a purely social phenomenon with chronicity of the city, marked by physical, sexual or multiple, with victims young women, more common in people with higher education, although the elderly were more often victimized so psychological, verbal and gross negligence.(AU)

ABSTRACT

This project examined risk factors (lifestyle, socio-economic and cultural) for Type 2 diabetes among 890 women in rural Jamaica in comparison to national and international trends via the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and further analysis via the Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Nonparametric tests explored the relationship of body mass index (BMI) and risk factors. Women above age 36 years, sedentary women and women with health insurance showed a significant increase in BMI. Seventh Day Adventists had significantly lower BMIs compared to Protestants. Prevalence of Type 2 diabetes in rural Jamaica is complicated by the lack of adequate health insurance, health practitioners (including dieticians and social workers), and vigorous public awareness campaigns, as well as high healthcare costs. Recommendations include the establishment of a comprehensive plan targeting women to reduce their risk factors for Type 2 diabetes, including early diagnoses, continuing education for healthcare providers and community mobilization among churches, schools, banks, pharmacies and other entities.


Este trabajo examina los factores de riesgo de la diabetes tipo 2 (estilo de vida, condiciones socio-económicas y culturales) entre 890 mujeres de la zona rural de Jamaica, comparados con las tendencias nacionales e internacionales. Para ello se recurrió al Sistema de vigilancia de factores de riesgo conductuales (BRFSS), y un análisis posterior mediante la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis y la prueba U de Mann-Whitney. Se usaron pruebas no paramétricas para explorar la relación del IMC y los factores de riesgo de la diabetes. Las mujeres mayores de 36 años, las mujeres sedentarias, y las mujeres con seguro de salud, mostraron un aumento significativo del índice masa corporal (IMC). Las mujeres Adventistas de Séptimo Día, tenían índices IMC más bajos con relación a las protestantes. La prevalencia de la diabetes de tipo 2 en Jamaica rural, se complica por la falta de seguros de salud adecuados, insuficiente número de profesionales de la salud (incluyendo diteístas y trabajadores sociales), la escasa promoción de campañas vigorosas de concientización pública, y finalmente los altos costos de la atención a la salud. Las recomendaciones incluyen la implementación de un plan integral dirigido a las mujeres y encaminado a reducir los factores de riesgo de la diabetes de tipo 2. Dicho plan incluiría diagnósticos tempranos, educación continuada para los profesionales de la salud, y movilización de la comunidad en asociación con iglesias, escuelas, bancos, farmacias y otras entidades.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: descrever os principais fatores de risco e proteção para doenças crônicas com dados do inquérito telefônico de 2010. METODOLOGIA: entrevistas telefônicas realizadas em amostra probabilística dos adultos residentes nas capitais do Brasil e Distrito Federal com telefone fixo residencial. As prevalências foram estratificadas por sexo, idade e escolaridade. RESULTADOS: Foi verificado alto consumo de refrigerantes (28%), de carne com gordura (46%) e de consumo abusivo de álcool (18%), e baixo consumo de frutas e hortaliças (18%) e de atividade física no lazer (15%). Aproximadamente metade da população referiu ter excesso de peso e não se proteger da radiação solar. A inatividade física e o tabagismo atingem cerca de 15% dos adultos. Fatores de risco foram mais prevalentes em homens, adultos jovens e de menor escolaridade. CONCLUSÃO: os resultados apontam diferentes comportamentos em saúde da população segundo características sociodemográficas. Essa variabilidade deve ser considerada nas ações de promoção de saúde.


PURPOSE: To describe protection from chronic diseases and the prevalence of risk factors with data from a telephone survey in 2010. METHODS: Telephone interviews in a random sample of adults living in Brazilian state capitals and the Federal District with residential landline telephones. The prevalence of these factors was stratified by sex, age and level of education. RESULTS: High prevalence of soft drink consumption (28.1%), fatty meat consumption (34.2%), and alcohol abuse (18%) and low fruit and vegetable intake (18%) and leisure time physical activity (15%) was verified. Approximately half the population was overweight and reported no sun protection practices. Physical inactivity and smoking afflicted almost 15% of adults. In general, risk factors were more prevalent in men, predominantly young adults with lower education levels. CONCLUSION: The results revealed differing health behavior according to socio-demographic variables. These variables should be taken into consideration in health promotion campaigns.
