Rev Esp Nutr Hum Diet [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.27-37. Epub 29-Jun-2020. ISSN 2174-5145. https://dx.doi.org/10.14306/renhyd.23.1.649.
Introduction
Hypertension is one of the most important and rapidly increasing public health problems in developing countries. In this study, factors associated with non-pharmacological treatment in people with high blood pressure were determined.
Material and Methods
A transversal study was carried out on 363 Brazilians between 40 and 98 years old, belonging to VIGICARDIO study, Cambe-PR, Brazil. To associate high blood pressure to socio-demographic and health factors of people without pharmacological treatment, logistic regression was used.
Results
The probability of having high blood pressure without pharmacological treatment was higher in men (OR:3.3; 95%CI:1.9-5.8), under 60 years (OR:1.9; 95%CI:1.0-1.5), with good perception of health (OR:2.3; 95%CI:1.3-3.9), normal weight (OR:2.1; 95%CI:1.2-3.8), non-diabetics (OR:21.4; 95%CI:2.97-159.8), who abused alcohol (OR:2.9; 95%CI:1.5-5.7), who ate vegetables or legumes 4 times or less a week (OR:2.26; 95%CI:1.1-3.8), who consumed meat with fat (OR:2.1; 95%CI:1.2-3.6), and who had systolic blood pressure ≥90mm/Hg (OR:3.1; 95%CI:1.8-5.6). However, those with triglycerides ≥150mm/dL (OR:0.6; 95%CI:0.3-0.9), and with high density lipoprotein ≤45mm/dL (OR:0.5; 95%CI:0.3-0.8) were less likely to be without treatment.
Conclusions
Those without pharmacological treatment had less obesity or diabetes, but worse lifestyle and eating behaviors. Health services should strengthen diagnostic capabilities.
