ABSTRACT
Objective: to evaluate the blood pressure levels and factors associated with arterial hypertension of users attended at a prompt health care service. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional study with 100 users. The factors with binary logistic regression, with significant values of p≤0.20, were evaluated, and the results are presented in tables and figures, discussed later with the literature. Results: the mean of the men's blood pressure levels was found to be SBP 130.6 (20.0) mmHg and DBP 78.9 (12.2) mmHg and SBP 119.5 (22.9) mmHg and PAD 71.4 (11.4) mmHg. The prevalence of hypertension was 26.0% (CI95% 17.0-35.0) among men (32%) and women (20%), and hypertension was 10% (IC95 % 4.0-16.0). Conclusion: it is shown that men's blood pressure levels were higher than among women and the prevalence of arterial hypertension was higher than that estimated for the Brazilian population. Descriptors: Arterial Pressure; Hypertension; Outpatients; Life Style; Cardiovascular Diseases; Risk Factors.
RESUMO
Objetivo: avaliar os níveis tensionais e fatores associados à hipertensão arterial de usuários atendidos em um serviço de pronto atendimento à saúde. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, exploratório, transversal, com 100 usuários. Avaliaram-se os fatores com a regressão logística binária, com valores significativos de p≤0,20, e, os resultados se apresentam em tabelas e figuras, discutidos posteriormente com a literatura. Resultados: encontrou-se que a média dos níveis tensionais dos homens foi de PAS 130,6 (20,0) mmHg e PAD 78,9 (12,2) mmHg e das mulheres de PAS 119,5 (22,9) mmHg e PAD 71,4(11,4) mmHg. Verificou-se que a prevalência de hipertensão foi de 26,0% (IC95% 17,0–35,0) entre os homens (32%) e nas mulheres (20%) e a hipertensão arterial referida foi de 10% (IC95% 4,0–16,0). Conclusão: revela-se que os níveis tensionais dos homens foram mais elevados que entre as mulheres e a prevalência de hipertensão arterial foi maior do que a estimada para a população brasileira.
