ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) representan un importante problema de salud para las mujeres en Uruguay. De acuerdo con las últimas estadísticas publicadas, en nuestro país mueren por esta causa más mujeres (13 por día) que hombres (11 por día). Objetivo: evaluar la percepción, conocimiento y conductas de prevención de las ECV de la mujer por la mujer. Método y resultado: en 2013 se encuestaron en Montevideo, por teléfono fijo, 300 mujeres (con edades entre 20 y 70 años), seleccionadas al azar, con una distribución similar a la de la población general en cuanto a nivel socioeconómico y edad. El cuestionario evaluó la percepción de la ECV como problema de salud, causa de muerte y comportamientos de prevención. El cáncer fue percibido por el 52% como el principal problema de salud y por el 62% como primera causa de muerte. La ECV lo fue en 17% y 12%, respectivamente. La mayoría de las mujeres tienen conocimiento sobre factores de riesgo cardiovascular, síntomas de ECV y comportamientos de prevención. Sin embargo, especialmente las más jóvenes subestimaron esta enfermedad y el cáncer de mama fue percibido como el principal problema de salud y no la ECV. Las mujeres hablan poco de estos temas con sus médicos (41% sobre medidas de prevención y 32% sobre síntomas de ECV). Conclusiones: la percepción de las mujeres encuestadas es que el cáncer es el principal problema de salud y causa de muerte; solo el 12% identificó a la ECV como la primera causa de muerte. Si bien las mujeres conocen los síntomas y los factores de riesgo, no los asocian con un problema de género.


Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a major health problem for women in Uruguay. More women than men die every year in our country due to heart disease and 13 women die every day, according to the latest published vital statistics. Objective: to evaluate the perception, knowledge and preventive behaviors of CVD of women by women. Method and results: in 2013, 300 women (age 20-70 years) were selected at random and surveyed by telephone, distributed in proportion to the population in terms socioeconomic level and age. The questionnaire assessed the perception of CVD as a health problem, cause of death and prevention behaviors. Cancer was perceived by 52% as the main health problem and 62% as the leading cause of death. So was CVD in 17% and 12% respectively. The vast majority of women respondents had an adequate level of knowledge about cardiovascular risk factors, symptoms of heart disease, as well as behaviors that prevent or reduce the likelihood of becoming ill. However, most women, especially the young ones underestimated this disease and perceived breast cancer as a main health concern rather than CVD. Few women talk about this with their doctors (41% of prevention measures and 32% of CVD symptoms). Conclusion: the perception of the surveyed women was that cancer is their main health problem and cause of death. Just 12% perceived CVD as the main cause of death. Although women knew the symptoms and risk factors of this illness, they didn't associate it with a gender problem.

ABSTRACT

Background: The inability to carry out activities of daily living (ADL) is prevalent in elderly people and it is associated with hypertension and stroke. Aim: To evaluate ADLs using the T-ADLQ in hypertensive patients with minor stroke. Subjects and Methods: T-ADLQ, Cognitive tests (Minimental and Addenbrooke), and Hamilton depression test were applied to 100 hypertensive ambulatory patients (55 without symptomatic stroke and 45 with ischemic stroke, Rankin ≤ 2). Results: In stroke patients the ability to perform ADL was significantly reduced compared with hypertensive patients without stroke. Cognitive dysfunction and depressive symptoms were associated with a lower ADL performance. Conclusions: The T-ADLQ is useful to evaluate ADL in hypertensive ambulatory patients with ischemic stroke.
