RESUMO

Antecedentes y objetivo: La demencia es un problema de salud pública creciente. Involucra el declive de funciones cognitivas, generando discapacidad mental y física, y con ello mayor dependencia funcional. Se dispone de limitada información epidemiológica que revele un valor aproximado real de su prevalencia en la población adulta mayor latinoamericana. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de demencia en población adulta mayor de América Latina y su comportamiento según área geográfica y sexo. Materiales y métodos: Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática en bases de datos: PubMed, Ovid, Lilacs, Cochrane, Scielo y Google Académico, a fin de identificar estudios que estimaran la prevalencia de demencia en población urbana o rural mayor de 65 años de edad de Latinoamérica. Resultados: A febrero del 2018m la búsqueda bibliográfica arrojó 357 publicaciones, incluyéndose 25 en esta revisión. La prevalencia global de demencia en la población adulta mayor de América Latina es del 11%, prevaleciendo más en el sexo femenino y en población urbana. Conclusión: Primera revisión sistemática que sugiere una prevalencia de demencia en adultos mayores de América Latina mayor que lo estimado por organizaciones internacionales e inclusive que en otros continentes


Background and objective: Dementia is a growing public health problem. It involves the impairment of several cognitive functions, generating mental and physical disability, and therefore greater functional dependence. There is limited epidemiological information which reveals an approximate prevalence in older adults from Latin America. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of dementia in the older adult population of Latin America, and its distribution according to geographic area and gender. Materials and methods: A systematic review was carried out in databases: PubMed, Ovid, Lilacs, Cochrane, Scielo and Google Scholar, in order to identify studies that estimate the prevalence of dementia in urban and / or rural population over 65 years of age. Results: On February 2018, the literature search yielded 357 publications. The overall prevalence of dementia in the older adult population of Latin America was found to be 11%, prevailing more in female gender and urban people. Conclusion: The prevalence of dementia in Latin America is higher than registered previously, and even than in other continents

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: to determine the prevalence of arterial hypertension in individuals ≥18 years old and its behavior according to sex and age in Colombia. Data source: the search was carried out in the PubMed, Lilacs, Ovid, Google Scholar and Scielo databases, and was not restricted by study year. Search strategy: (Hypertension) AND (Colombia) or (Hipertensión Arterial) AND (Colombia) or (Cardiovascular Risk Factors) AND (Colombia). Study selection: descriptive population and cross-sectional studies which determined the prevalence of hypertension in the population ≥18 years old were included. With multiple reviewers, 23 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Data extraction: the quality of the information was verified according to the STROBE declaration and by evaluating the risk of bias in each study. Data synthesis: prevalence was determined along with confidence intervals and heterogeneity. The prevalence of hypertension (52,570 individuals) is 24% [95% CI 19-29%; p<0.001]. It is slightly more prevalent in males (29%) [95% CI 23-37%; p<0.001], increases proportionally with age and is less prevalent in urban areas (21%) [95% CI 14-29%; p<0.001]. The tendency changes according to sex-age; it is more prevalent in males at early ages and in females beginning at middle age. Conclusion: There is a tendency towards increased prevalence of hypertension in Colombia. There are no major differences between the sexes. Prevalence varies in relation to age, age-sex and geographical area of residence. This is explained by the changing physiological behavior and the socioeconomic level of the population sample included. (Acta Med Colomb 2019; 44. DOI:https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2019.1293).


Resumen Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de hipertensión arterial en personas ≥18 años de edad y su comportamiento según género y edad en Colombia. Fuente de los datos: la búsqueda fue realizada en bases de datos PubMed, Lilacs, Ovid, Google Académico y Scielo. No restricción por año de realización de los estudios. Estrategia de búsqueda: (Hypertension) AND (Colombia) o (Hipertensión Arterial) AND (Colombia) o (Cardiovascular Risk Factors) AND (Colombia). Selección de los estudios: se incluyeron estudios descriptivos, de corte poblacional y transversal que determinen la prevalencia de hipertensión en población ≥18 años de edad. Con revisores múltiples, 23 estudios cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Extracción de los datos: la calidad de la información verificada según la declaración STROBE y evaluando el riesgo de sesgo en cada estudio. Síntesis de los datos: se determina la prevalencia con intervalos de confianza y heterogeneidad. La prevalencia de hipertensión (52 570 individuos) es 24% [IC 95% 19-29%; p<0.001]. Ligeramente más prevalente en hombres 29% [IC 95% 23-37%; p<0.001], aumenta proporcionalmente con la edad y menos prevalente en área urbana 21% [IC 95% 14-29%; p<0.001]. La tendencia cambia en relación a género-edad, prevalece más en hombres a edad temprana y en mujeres a partir de la adultez media. Conclusión: Existe una tendencia al aumento de la prevalencia de hipertensión en Colombia. No hay mayores diferencias entre géneros. Existe variabilidad de prevalencia en relación con la edad, edad-género y área geográfica de residencia; esto explicado por el comportamiento fisiológico cambiante y el nivel socioeconómico de la muestra poblacional incluida.
