ABSTRACT
Blood pressure (BP) control - below 140 mmHg for systolic BP and 90 mmHg for diastolic BP, according to the Brazilian Society of Hypertension - reduces the risk of complications of hypertension. However, this control remains unsatisfactory in many hypertensive patients. In order to assess the size of the problem and the associated factors, blood pressure control and its association with socioeconomic, demographic, lifestyle and professional orientation characteristics were analyzed in a random sample of 784 hypertensive patients followed by the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the state of Pernambuco. The dependent variable was BP control; the independent variables were age, gender, education, monthly family income, occupation, physical activity, adhering to a weight-reduction diet, smoking, frequency of alcohol consumption, and having been asked and/or advised by a FHS professional about physical activity, necessity of losing weight, smoking and alcohol consumption habits. Chi-square and Student's t tests were used for statistical analyzes. BP was controlled in 43.1% of the hypertensive patients. Control was more observed in women
RESUMO
O controle da pressão arterial (PA) abaixo de 140 mmHg para a PA sistólica e 90 mmHg para a PA diastólica, conforme os parâmetros da Sociedade Brasileira de Hipertensão reduz o risco de complicações da hipertensão. No entanto, esse controle permanece insatisfatório em muitos hipertensos. Com o objetivo de evidenciar o tamanho do problema e os fatores associados, analisou se o controle da pressão arterial e sua associação com características socioeconômicas, demográficas, de estilo de vida e de orientações profissionais recebidas, em uma amostra aleatória de 784 hipertensos atendidos na Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) no estado de Pernambuco. A variável dependente foi o controle da PA; as variáveis independentes foram idade, sexo, escolaridade, renda familiar mensal, ocupação, atividade física, seguimento de dieta para perder peso, tabagismo, frequência do consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, ter sido perguntado e/ou orientado sobre atividade física, alimentação saudável, necessidade de perder peso, hábitos de tabagismo e consumo de álcool.
