“…Research has shown that excessive alcohol consumption is one of the factors accounting for increase in blood pressure levels 26,27 . Probably, the direct association observed in this study between physical activity and hypertension may be the result of the reverse causality very common in crosssectional studies, as the harmful role of sedentism is well documented in the literature as contributing to the increase of the prevalence of non-transmissible chronic diseases, including hypertension 28 . This study found a positive and linear association (p<0.001) between the increase in BMI and waist circumference with hypertension.…”

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a associação entre marcadores antropométricos de adiposidade corporal (índice de massa corporal e circunferência da cintura) e hipertensão arterial. MÉTODOS: Estudo de corte transversal, de base populacional, realizado no período de 2003 a 2004, com 1.298 indivíduos de 20 a 59 anos. Foram considerados hipertensos os indivíduos com pressão arterial > 140/90 mmHg ou em uso de medicação anti-hipertensiva. As associações entre os indicadores antropométricos e a hipertensão arterial foram analisadas por regressão de Poisson, ajustada por potenciais fatores de confusão (sexo, idade, escolaridade, tabagismo, consumo de bebida alcoólica e atividade física no lazer). A curva ROC foi utilizada para determinar o melhor ponto de corte do IMC para detecção da hipertensão arterial. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de hipertensão arterial foi de 28,3%, sendo 33,5% no sexo masculino e 23,5% no feminino. Após ajuste para o IMC e potenciais fatores de confusão, a circunferência da cintura perdeu associação com o desfecho avaliado, permanecendo apenas o IMC com poder de explicação para a hipertensão arterial (RP = 1,05, p = 0,001). O melhor ponto de corte para o IMC no sexo masculino foi de 25,6 Kg/m², e no sexo feminino 25,7 Kg/m². CONCLUSÕES: A associação observada entre a circunferência da cintura e a hipertensão arterial em muitos estudos pode estar relacionada à ausência de controle de potenciais fatores de confusão nas análises, bem como à não remoção do efeito da adiposidade total. Novas investigações devem ser conduzidas na população brasileira, a fim de se verificar as verdadeiras associações entre indicadores antropométricos e vários desfechos, estudando-se também os melhores pontos de corte desses indicadores.

“…In ten studies, the sample was school-based 16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 and four included workers 26,27,28,29 . The sample size ranged from 160 individuals 30 to 54,369 8 , while the majority of the studies (38) included more than a thousand subjects, and only two included fewer than five hundred 30,31 .…”

“…10,12 Other factors include: smoking, which causes the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, oxidative stress and vasoconstrictive effect associated with the increase in inflammations related to hypertension; 3 alcohol consumption, which has been associated with an increase in hypertension prevalence, probably due to the fact that it has a direct harmful action on the cardiac muscle. 6 On the other hand, physical activity, at high and regular levels, tends to reduce blood pressure values. 13,14 The objective of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of arterial hypertension in a young military population and the associated factors.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of arterial hypertension among young military personnel and associated factors. METHODS:Cross-sectional study carried out with a sample of 380 male military personnel aged 19 to 35 years of a Brazilian Air Force unit in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, in 2000 and 2001. The cut-off points for hypertension were: ≥ 140mmHg for systolic pressure and ≥ 90mmHg for diastolic pressure. The studied variables included risk and protective factors for hypertension, such as behavioral and nutritional characteristics. For association analysis, generalized linear model multiple regression was used, with binomial family and logarithmic link, and prevalence ratios were obtained with 90% confidence interval and hierarchical selection of variables. RESULTS:Prevalence of hypertension was 22% (90% CI: 21;29). In the final multiple regression model, it was found that the prevalence of hypertension was 68% higher among ex-smokers when compared to non-smokers (90% CI: 1.13; 2.50). Among subjects with overweight (body mass index -BMI of 25 to 29kg/m2) and obesity (BMI> 29kg/m2) the prevalences were, respectively, 75% (90% CI: 1.23;2.50) and 178% (90% CI: 1.82;4.25) higher than among subjects with normal weight. Among those that practiced physical activity regularly, compared to those who did not practice it, the prevalence was 52% lower (90% CI: 0.30;0.90). CONCLUSIONS:Being an ex-smoker and overweight or obese were risk situations for hypertension, while the regular practice of physical activity was a protective factor in young military personnel.
