OBJECTIVE:To assess the prevalence and factors associated with prehypertension and hypertension among adults. METHODS:Population-based cross-sectional study carried out with a sample of 1,720 adults in the city of Florianópolis, Southern Brazil, from September 2009 to January 2012. Information on demographic and socioeconomic factors, health-related behaviors, anthropometric measures, morbidities, and self-rated health was collected through household interviews. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were also assessed as well as use of antihypertensive medications and medical diagnosis of hypertension. The dependent variable was categorized as normal blood pressure, prehypertension and hypertension. Polytomous multiple logistic regression analysis was performed with use of a multinomial logit model. RESULTS:The overall prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension was 36.1% (95%CI 33.3;38.8) and 40.1% (95%CI 36.6, 43.5), respectively. The polytomous regression analysis showed that prehypertension was signifi cantly associated with males, black skin, 50-59 years of age, leisure-time physical inactivity, and pre-obesity. Hypertension was associated with males, 40 years of age or more, intermediary tertile of per capita family income, less than 12 years of schooling, leisure-time physical inactivity, pre-obesity, obesity, abdominal obesity, and negative self-rated health. CONCLUSIONS:It is pressing to introduce effective public health policies to control hypertension among adult population in Florianópolis, Southern Brazil. DESCRIPTORS: Hypertension. Epidemiology. Risk Factors. Adult. Cross-Sectional Studies.Original Articles Hypertension in adults in Florianópolis Silva DAS et al Hypertension (HT) is one of the most important risk factors in cardiovascular disease which causes early death in adults. 15 The prevalence of HT in the adult population varies from 5.2% to 70.7% throughout the world. 12,23 Immutable characteristics such as sex and skin colour/race, macro-structural determinants such as socio-economic status and degree of urbanisation and lifestyle factors capable of modifi cation such as nutrition, physical activity and alcohol and tobacco consumption all affect blood pressure levels. 15,23 A recent report from the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High BP (JNC-7) provided new guidelines for the prevention and detection of HT. 5 The detection of prehypertension (PreHT) is as important as the diagnosing of H, according to the JNC-7. PreHT is not an illness; however, those with prehypertension are at greater risk of developing HT and increase their risk of cardiovascular disease compared with normotensive individuals. 5 Studies of the prevalence of HT in adults have reported values of 22% and 44% in Brazil. HT was more prevalent in older people, those with black skin, those with low socioeconomic status, those with a diet high in salt and those who were overweight. 23 Although it is relevant to public health to investigate the prevalence of HT a...

“…Studies need to be prospective and assess total energy expenditure from physical activity and sedentary behaviours across all domains rather than focusing only on work or leisure time (Bryan and Katzmartzy 2011). In this paper we address these limitations.…”

“…They are also exploring both activity and sedentary levels (Biddle 2007). However, many studies are cross-sectional and also do not account for age, sex, ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) variations (Bryan and Katzmartzy 2011;O'Donovan et al 2010).…”

Abstract:OBJECTIVES: Explore the impact of incremental increases in physical activity and incremental decreases in sedentary behaviours on health outcomes in employees of five organisations. Investigate the association between physical activity and sedentary behaviours.METHODS: Self-reported physical activity and sedentary behaviours were recorded at four time points (baseline, 3, 6, 12 months). BMI, % body fat, waist circumference, blood pressure and resting heart rate were collected in health checks (baseline, 12 months). Well-being and health were collected via questionnaire. Participants were classified into five physical activity groups (n=308) and three sedentary groups (n=358). MANCOVAs explored the impact of activity and sedentary group on health. Spearman's correlation analysis investigated associations between behaviours.RESULTS: Low activity and high sedentariness were evident. More activity was associated with improved BMI, % body fat, resting heart rate, waist circumference and well-being. Sedentary behaviour was not associated with health. A weak positive association between physical activity and sedentary behaviours emerged.CONCLUSIONS: The low activity levels are of particular concern as linked to health outcomes. The weak association between behaviours suggests worksite interventions should target both behaviours.
