“…It is important to mention that three articles (18,24,26) presented a different number of participants in the sample from those who had their blood pressure measured and presented in the results. Almost all the studies (21) were performed with both genders, except for one study (11) that investigated only men and another (31) that investigated only indigenous women.…”

Objective: Evaluating the evidence of hypertension prevalence among indigenous populations in Brazil through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A search was performed by two reviewers, with no restriction of date or language in the databases of PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, Virtual Health Library and Capes Journal Portal. Also, a meta-regression model was designed in which the last collection year of each study was used as a moderating variable. Results: 23 articles were included in the review. No hypertension was found in indigenous populations in 10 studies, and its prevalence was increasing and varied, reaching levels of up to 29.7%. Combined hypertension prevalence in Indigenous from the period of 1970 to 2014 was 6.2% (95% CI, 3.1% -10.3%). In the regression, the value of the odds ratio was 1.12 (95% CI, 1.07 -1.18; p <0.0001), indicating a 12% increase every year in the probability of an indigenous person presenting hypertension. Conclusion: There has been a constant increase in prevalence despite the absence of hypertension in about half of the studies, probably due to changes in cultural, economic and lifestyle habits, resulting from indigenous interaction with non-indigenous society.

“…Tais achados estão alinhados com aqueles de outros estudos sobre povos indígenas no Brasil e no mundo, que têm apontado para a emergência de excesso de peso associado a contextos de acelerados processos de transição nutricional 9,10,11,12,13,14,21,22,23 .…”

“…Em conjunto com novos padrões de consumo alimentar estabelecidos nas últimas décadas, que incluem a incorporação de produtos industrializados de elevado teor energético, diversos estudos realizados em comunidades indígenas apontam para a redução dos níveis de atividade física, inclusive no contexto das atividades laborais 10,11,12,21 . Lourenço et al 10 , com base em investigação realizada com os Suruí, Rondônia, observaram estreita associação entre as elevadas prevalências de excesso de peso e obesidade em homens e mulheres com diferentes gradientes socioeconômicos presentes na comunidade, associados a novos hábitos alimentares e padrões de atividade física.…”

Obesidade e excesso de peso em adultos indígenas Xukuru do Ororubá, Pernambuco, Brasil: magnitude, fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos associados

Este estudo transversal visa a descrever a distribuição de excesso de peso e obesidade e sua associação com variáveis demográficas e socioeconômicas entre 794 adultos indígenas, de 19 a 59 anos, da etnia Xukuru do Ororubá, povo indígena cujas terras estão localizadas no Município de Pesqueira, agreste de Pernambuco, Brasil. A análise da associação entre as variáveis de desfecho, excesso de peso (IMC > 24,99kg/m2) e obesidade (> 29,99kg/m2) e as variáveis explicativas foi realizada utilizando-se regressão logística multinível. Entre as mulheres, 52,2% estavam com excesso de peso e 21% obesas. Para os homens, as prevalências foram de 44,1% e 7,5%, respectivamente. As variáveis sexo feminino e idade (> 30 anos) estiveram associadas à ocorrência de ambos os agravos. Status socioeconômico e interação sexo masculino e renda per capita elevada apresentaram associação com obesidade. Assim como observado em outras populações indígenas, os achados sugerem que os Xukuru estão atravessando um acelerado processo de transição nutricional.

“…The value of the WC in both study groups in predicting CVD risk is debatable. Most studies of Indigenous people in South America reveal a relatively high prevalence of low HDL-C and increased WC for women [24,[27][28][29]. High obesity (BMI>30) prevalences were particularly more frequently observed in Indigenous populations with an acculturated sedentary life style [9,30,31].…”

Background:The indigenous Amerindian populations living in the southern interior part of Suriname have to date largely maintained their traditional hunter-gatherer life-style. In this study we compared the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MeTS) and its component risk factors between indigenous Amerindian women of the interior of Suriname, with indigenous Amerindian women living in the coastal-rural areas who have a more urbanized lifestyle. We focused on women since the Suriname Health study showed that Indigenous women had the second highest MeTS prevalence nationwide.
