Associação entre pressão arterial elevada e os indicadores antropométricos utilizados para adultos com obesidade – Estudo Brazuca Natal
Introduction: Blood pressure (BP) is considered high when systolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 90 mmHg. There is a practically linear relationship between BP and obesity rates. Excessive body adiposity, especially vi...

| Resumo: | Introduction: Blood pressure (BP) is considered high when systolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 90 mmHg. There is a practically linear relationship between BP and obesity rates. Excessive body adiposity, especially visceral, is an important risk factor for BP elevation. Many anthropometric indicators have been developed to specifically identify obesity and fat distribution in humans. Anthropometric parameters are also used as part of disease risk detection protocols, and may contribute to the screening of individuals with AH. Objective: To evaluate the association between anthropometric indicators and high BP in adults. Methodology: Cross-sectional study, with 220 adults, residents of the city of Natal/RN. Sociodemographic, lifestyle, BMI, waist circumference (WC), neck circumference (PP), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-hip ratio (WHtR) were collected. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science Statistics (SPSS) version 20.0 software. To verify the association between the categorical variables, the chi-square test was used, considering significant when the p-value is less than 0.05. Results: Sample of 220 adults, mostly female (60%), 66.4% of non-white skin color, 64.5% with a partner. Regarding education, only 2.7% were illiterate, the average income was R$ 1106.18 and 52.7% declared a per capita income ≥ 1/2 minimum wage. Regarding the lifestyle of the participants, 73.2% were sedentary, 45.9% were in the habit of drinking alcohol, 10.9% were smokers and 15% were ex-smokers. The use of hypotensive medication was reported by 24.1% of the population. Nutritional status according to BMI was more frequent, 73.2% of overweight/obese individuals. A positive association was identified between high BP and BMI, WC, PP, WHtR. Conclusion: It was possible to verify that the anthropometric indicators evaluated, BMI, PP, WC and WHtR, were strongly associated with high blood pressure in adults, increasing the risk of AH and its adverse outcomes. |
