Conflicts of interest: no conflicts of interest to declare. ResumoObjetivo: Verificar os fatores associados ao descontrole da pressão arterial em homens. Métodos: Estudo exploratório, de corte transversal, realizado em centro de referência para doenças cardiovasculares, em Salvador-BA, lócus para o núcleo de referência do programa de saúde do homem do Ministério da Saúde. Amostra foi selecionada por conveniência totalizando 130 homens atendidos em centro de saúde, submetidos a entrevista, avaliação clínica e antropométrica. Na análise bivariada empregou-se o Qui-quadrado de Pearson ou Exato de Fisher realizando-se posteriormente análise de regressão logística múltipla sendo a OR corrigida pelo modelo de Poisson. Adotou-se significância estatística de 5%. Resultados: Constatou-se alta prevalência de descontrole da pressão arterial (65,4%), de hábitos de vida inadequados e de excesso de peso. Não houve associação estatisticamente significante entre descontrole dos níveis pressóricos e variáveis sociodemográficas, hábitos de vida e medidas antropométricas. Na regressão, o descontrole da pressão arterial associou-se ao uso inadequado da medicação (RP: 1,35, IC 95%: 1,03; 1,76). Conclusão: O uso inadequado da medicação foi reforçado como importante fator associado ao descontrole. Medidas efetivas para mudança deste panorama são emergenciais e desafiam profissionais e autoridades públicas. ResumoObjective: Verify the factors associated with lack of blood pressure control in men. Methods: Exploratory and cross-sectional study undertaken at a referral center for cardiovascular diseases in Salvador-BA, where the referral center of the Ministry of Health's male health program is located. A convenience sample was selected, totaling 130 men attended at a health center, submitted to interview, clinical and anthropometric assessment. In the bivariate analysis, Pearson's Chi-squared or Fisher's Exact test was employed, followed by multiple logistic regression analysis. The OR was corrected by means of Poisson's model. Statistical significance was set at 5%. Results: The high prevalence of lack of blood pressure control (65.4%), inappropriate living habits and overweight was verified. No statistically significant association was found between lack of pressure control and sociodemographic variables, living habits and anthropometric measures. In the regression, the lack of blood pressure control was associated with inappropriate medication use (PR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.03; 1.76). Conclusion: Inappropriate medication use was emphasized as an important factor associated with lack of control. Effective measures to change this situation are urgent and challenge professionals and public authorities.
Portuguese / English: www.scielo.br/reeusp RESUMO Estudo de corte transversal que avaliou parâmetros clínicos e antropométricos em 100 indivíduos com doença arterial coronária, atendidos em um ambulatório de cardiologia preventiva em um hospital público, em Salvador/BA. Na coleta de dados empregou-se entrevista, avaliação clínica e laboratorial. Os resultados foram analisados em médias e percentuais. Predominou homens, faixa etária <60 anos, raça/cor negra casado(a)s, baixa escolaridade e renda, indivíduos sem ocupação e com diagnóstico de infarto do miocárdio. A maioria relatou hipertensão arterial, dislipidemia, sedentarismo, abandono do tabagismo e da bebida alcoólica. Todas as mulheres e 82% dos homens tinham circunferência abdominal aumentada, 19% glicemia casual >200 mg/ dL, 36% sobrepeso, 28% obesidade, 65% algum estágio de hipertensão arterial, 65% HDL-C baixo e 43% estava com colesterol total alto. Em indivíduos de alto risco cardiovascular e condições socioeconômicas deficitárias constatou-se o descontrole de vários fatores de risco cardiovascular, demandando práticas de cuidar efetivas para o controle da doença. DESCRITORES ABSTRACTThis cross-sectional study evaluated the clinical and anthropometrical parameters of 100 individuals with coronary artery disease, who were assisted at preventive cardiology outpatient clinic at a public hospital in Salvador/BA. Data collection was performed through interviews and both clinical and laboratory evaluations. The results were analyzed as averages and percentages. Most participants were black men, aged <60 years, married, low education level and small income, unemployed and diagnosed with myocardial infarction. Most reported having arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, a sedentary lifestyle, and had quit smoking and drinking. All women and 82% of the men had an increased abdominal circumference, 19% had causal blood glucose>200 mg/dL, 36% was overweight, 28% were obese, 65% were in soma stage of hypertension, 65% had low HDL-C and 43% had high total cholesterol. It was observed that individuals with high cardiovascular risk and deficient socioeconomic conditions show a lack of control of several cardiovascular risk factors, thus demanding effective health care practices to control the illness.
