The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) with the World Hypertension League has established the 17th May to promote the prevention and control of High Blood Pressure (HBP). Currently nearly 1.13 billion of adults suffer from HBP (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg) worldwide. While HBP prevalence decreased in high income countries (HIC) between 1975 and 2015, the opposite trend was observed in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC). Particularly, in Latin American and Caribbean countries the prevalence decreased from 40.6% to 26.8% and from 26.8% to 19.4% for men and women between 45 to 49 years old respectively. However, in 2015, HBP accounted for 8.9 of the total of disability adjusted life years (DALYS) and was associated with 4.9 million, 2.0 million and 1.5 million deaths due to ischemic heart disease, hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke respectively. Therefore, HBP is the leading cardiovascular risk factor worldwide. In Colombia, the last National Health Survey reported a global prevalence of 22.8% and nearly 60% for those between 60 and 69 years in 2007

This is a report of a pilot study to explore the barriers to the prevention and control of high blood pressure by West African immigrants in Rhode Island. The incidence of high blood pressure is high in African Americans with many possible contributory factors documented. However, little is known about possible barriers to the control of high blood pressure among specific black ethnic populations such as West African immigrants living in Rhode Island. A qualitative research design employing a semi-structured interview was utilize to explore the issue. The barriers to high blood pressure management reported by these West Africans immigrants reported included: psychosocial stressors, inability to adopt lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, belief system, and a lack of complete adherence to medication regimen. The study also highlighted the fact that some primary care providers for these patients are not following the recommended interventions for the management of high blood pressure in people of black ancestry. The findings of this pilot study support the need for provider use of available treatment guidelines for population from black ancestry and the necessity for adequate patient education in the areas of stress management strategies and lifestyle modification as adjuncts to medication prescribed for high blood pressure management.

ABSTRACT A study of the phlebotomine sand flies was carried out between October 2011 and June 2013 in municipal parks in the city of São Paulo. A total of 173 specimens of 5 species were collected (Psychodopygus lloydi, Pintomyia fischeri, Lutzomyia amarali, Nyssomyia whitmani, and Migonemyia migonei). Three of these species may be involved in the transmission of the causative agent of tegumentary leishmaniasis. Surveillance and monitoring phlebotomine species from these areas are crucial as measure of prevention and control of leishmaniasis.

Sendo o peso pré-gestacional reconhecido com um dos principais determinantes do ganho ponderal na gestação e o acompanhamento do ganho ponderal nesse período um procedimento acessível e de baixo custo, é de grande utilidade sua análise e controle para possíveis intervenções primárias de prevenção, com promoção à saúde do binômio mãe-feto. Considerando as implicações da obesidade na gestação, esse trabalho objetivou analisar o histórico pré-natal do estado nutricional e possíveis correlações com intercorrências para a saúde materna e a via de parto no Ambulatório de Pré-natal da Universidade Brasil, Fernandópolis, São Paulo, Brasil. Forma avaliados 356 prontuários, considerando as variáveis: índice de massa corpórea na primeira consulta do pré-natal; diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus gestacional; síndromes hipertensivas gestacionais; e a via de parto no período de maio de 2015 a fevereiro de 2017. Dentre a amostra selecionada, 34,2% das gestantes encontravam-se em estado de sobrepeso e 11% de obesidade. A prevalência de diabetes mellitus gestacional foi de 4,2%, dentre as quais 33,3% foram classificadas em sobrepeso e 53,8% em obesidade. Em relação a síndromes hipertensivas gestacionais, o diagnóstico ocorreu em 10,1% da amostra, sendo que desta, 47,2% estavam acima do peso. Já sobre a via de parto, houve prevalência de 46% de partos operatórios, dentre os quais 56% ocorreram em gestantes com sobrepeso ou obesidade. Mediante a transversalidade desta temática, já que o excesso de peso na gestação se correlaciona com o aumento de problemas de saúde materna, além do seu impacto econômico para o país, pode-se concluir que atingir ou permanecer em estado nutricional de eutrofia é fundamental para o desenvolvimento saudável do binômio mão-feto e uma boa assistência pré-natal.Descritores: Gravidez; Peso Corporal; Diabetes Mellitus; Hipertensão; Parto.ReferênciasSilva LS, Pessoa FB, Pessoa DTC.

Abstract Objectives To estimate and to compare the prevalence of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol in the population of São Paulo city, according to different diagnostic criteria. Methods Data were collected at households during the cross-sectional population-based Health Survey of São Paulo with focus in Nutrition (ISA-Nutrition) performed in 2015 with 901 participants aged ≥12 y living in São Paulo city, Brazil. The prevalence of the evaluated outcomes was defined according to three diagnostic criteria: 1) self-reported; 2) measured by instrument (blood pressure ≥95th percentile for those aged 12–13 y; ≥130/80 mmHg for those aged 14–19 y; ≥140/90 mmHg for those aged ≥20 y) or blood sample analysis (for diabetes: fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL; for high cholesterol: total cholesterol ≥170 mg/dL and/or LDL ≥110 mg/dL for those aged < 20 y; total cholesterol ≥190 mg/dL and/or LDL ≥130 mg/dL for those aged ≥20 y); 3) measured + medication use. Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated according to complex survey procedures for the total population and by sex and age group (adolescents, adults, and older adults). Results The diabetes prevalence was similar using the three criteria: 10.6% (95% CI 8.6–13.0) using the self-reported criterion; 8.8% (95% CI 7.0–11.0) by measured glucose; and 12.9% (95% CI 10.6–13.6) by measured glucose + medication use. Difference in the prevalence according to the used criteria was observed for high blood pressure: 23.9% (95% CI 20.6–27.6) for self-reported; 29.3% (95% CI 25.9–33.0) by measured; and 38.7% (95% CI 34.7–42.8) by measured blood pressure + medication use, as well as for high cholesterol: 16.6% (95% CI 13.7–20.0) for self-reported; 35.7% (95% CI 31.7–39.9) by measured; and 40.5% (95% CI 36.2–44.9) by measured cholesterol + medication use. Despite different prevalence by sex and age group, a similar pattern was observed for the categories. There was an increase in the prevalence of the outcomes with the increase of the age group, accompanied by a reduction in the difference between self-reported and measured + medication use. Conclusions Different criteria resulted in substantially different prevalence, especially of high blood pressure and cholesterol, in the population of São Paulo city, with the lowest difference among older adults.
