Avaliar a funcionalidade da ferramenta Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) na identificação, prevenção e conscientização da Diabetes mellitus tipo2 (DM2) na cidade de Santos. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, analítico e descritivo. Foram avaliadas 96 pessoas e os participantes foram entrevistados, realizou-se a aferição da pressão arterial (PA), medições antropométricas, glicemia capilar de jejum (GCJ) e analisados os resultados obtidos no FINDRISC. Para análise estatística, aplicaram-se nos dados a análise de variância e teste do qui-quadrado. A prevalência de DM2 foi de 17%. Entre os fatores de risco modificáveis as maiores prevalências foram: Circunferência abdominal alterada (86%), IMC>25kg/m² (75%), PA alterada (57%) e GCJ>100mg/dL (48%). A maior associação para ocorrência de DM2 foi “antecedentes familiares” com aumento de risco em 3,3 vezes (P<0,02). Dos entrevistados que afirmaram não ter diagnóstico de DM2, 40% estava com o valor de GCJ acima de 100 mg/dL e 7,5% da amostra com valores acima de 126mg/dL sendo que destes, 85% apresentavam risco elevado em desenvolver DM2 pela pontuação FINDRISC. Os resultados demonstram a eficácia da ferramenta FINDRISC em identificar DM2 e a necessidade da realização das campanhas preventivas ou de promoção de saúde para o rastreamento e orientação de pessoas com elevado risco.
Assess the prevalence and risk factors of a group of adults for SAH and, at the same time, raise their awareness of the need for prevention through changes in lifestyle. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study, 96 people were evaluated. A questionnaire consisting of eight questions was used to assess risk factors, lifestyle and diseases. Weight, height, waist and neck circumference, blood pressure (BP) and fasting capillary blood glucose (GCJ) were measured. All participants signed a free and informed consent form and the project was approved by an ethics committee. Approximately 35% of patients had hypertension and 17% diabetes with a previous diagnosis determined by a doctor. The risk factors with the highest prevalence were: Abnormal abdominal circumference with 85.1%, body mass index (BMI) with 76% of people over 25kg / m², 56.8% with altered BP (SBP> 120 and / or DBP> 80mmHg) and GCJ, with 48.1% presenting values> 100 mg / dL and 10.13%> 126 mg / dL. As for the pressure classification, 15% of those evaluated had values less than 120x80mmHg, 20% in the borderline value (130-139 / 85-89) and approximately 37% presented values that are considered as hypertension. Among the risk factors, those associated with the occurrence of SAH (95% CI) were: Age, waist circumference (in men) and BMI. In people over 60 years of age, there was a three-fold increase in risk, a higher risk was also observed in variables related to obesity, increasing by up to 2.5 times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
