Background: Hypertension is a progressive cardiovascular syndrome arising from complex and interrelated etiologies. Males have slightly higher prevalence than female in most of countries of Southeast-Asian region.Objective: The objective of study is to find out prevalence and the risk factors of hypertension at Sipaghat, Sindhulchowk, Nepal.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Sipaghat of Sindhupalchowk district in May 2016 and 260 persons were selected randomly. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was higher in male (25.4%) than female (17.4%). Mean age of study population was 42.08 years with standard deviation, 15.95 years. Variables namely age group, smoking, alcohol consumption and family history of hypertension were found to be significant at 5 percent level of significance. Alcohol consumption and smokers have more than two times higher chance of getting hypertension compared to alcohol non-consumer and nonsmoker with 95% confidence intervals were 1.08-4.80 and 1.21-6.10, respectively. Persons with family history of hypertension have 3.8 times more chance of getting hypertension compared to no family history of hypertension with 1.89-7.61 of 95% confidence interval.Conclusion: Lifestyle modification reduces blood pressure which prevents or delays the incidence of hypertension. Hypertension can be controlled and prevented by modifying the lifestyle. People should be advised to avoid modifiable risk factors of hypertension like smoking, consumption of alcohol and physical inactivity through health education programs.Nepalese Journal of Statistics, 2017, Vol. 1, 73-82

ObjectivesThis is the first attempt to provide estimates on the prevalence of hypertension at the national, state and district level, a prerequisite for designing effective interventions. Besides, the study aims to identify the risk factors of hypertension.DesignWe analysed cross-sectional survey data from the fourth round (2015–2016) of National Family Health Survey (NFHS). NFHS was conducted between January 2015 and December 2016, gathering information on a range of indicators including blood pressure. The age adjusted prevalence of hypertension was calculated for state comparison, while multilevel logistic regression analysis was done to assess the correlates of hypertension.Setting and participantsIndia (2015–2016; n=811 917) aged 15–49.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary outcome is hypertension, which has been defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg.ResultsThe age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension in India was 11.3% (95% CI 11.16% to 11.43%) among persons aged between 15 and 49 and was four percentage points higher among males 13.8% (95% CI 13.46% to 14.19%) than among females 10.9% (95% CI 10.79% to 11.06%). Persons in the urban location (12.5%, 95% CI 12.25% to 12.80%) had a marginally higher prevalence than persons in rural location (10.6%, 95% CI 10.50% to 10.78%). The proportion of population suffering from hypertension varied greatly between states, with a prevalence of 8.2% (95% CI 7.58% to 8.85%) in Kerala to 20.3% (95% CI 18.81% to 21.77%) in Sikkim. Advancing age, obesity/overweight, male sex, socioeconomic status and consumption of alcohol were found to be the major predictors of hypertension.ConclusionsHypertension prevalence is now becoming more concentrated among the poor. Policy measures should be taken to improve the hazardous working conditions and growing social pressures of survival responsible for ‘life-style’ changes such as consumption of high calorie food and alcohol.

ABSTRACT Objective: This article aims to identify the relational technologies used by Family Health Strategy nurses in their daily work when treating patients. Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study with qualitative approach; conducted between May and July 2015, in three Basic Health Units of the Southern Region of the Municipality of São Paulo, with 19 nurses of the Family Health Strategy. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview, and the speeches were fully transcribed and analyzed according to the technique of content analysis. Results: From the speeches of the participants, three categories emerged, showing the unawareness of the concept, but the valorization of its use; which are the relational technologies used by the participating nurses (communication, listening, empathy and welcoming reception), as well as the report of barriers to the use of relational technologies. Final consideration: Although the nurses value the use of relational technologies, the participants denoted unawareness of the nomenclature and its associated concepts, suggesting superficiality in the understanding and use of these instruments in the context of care in the Family Health Strategy.

The aims of the present study were to characterize the reasons for medical appointments and treatment procedures of elderly people in the Estratégia Saúde da Família ("Family Health Strategy") (ESF), with emphasis on mental health, as well as to identify the prevalence of common mental disorders, and compare this with the approaches described in medical records. A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 219 elderly persons was performed by reviewing medical records and applying a Self-Response Questionnaire (SRQ-20). For this population the average number of appointments per year was three, 42.3% of appointments were to obtain a medical prescription, and 70.9% of medical procedures involved the provision of medical prescriptions. There were eight referrals to specialized mental health services. The most prescribed psychiatric drugs were anxiolytics (55%), and antidepressants (29.7%). A total of 19.6% of the elderly persons had scores above seven in the SRQ-20. It was observed that a large proportion of mental disorders were not detected, and there was a failure in the procedures adopted. More investment in patient flow and the definition of assistance criteria for this population is required.

ABSTRACTObjective: to draw the profile of the hypertensive elderly registered/accompanied in the field of basic health attention. Method: cross sectional study of descriptive characteristic, in which users who were 60 years old or more and who were in the Family Health Strategy program between 2000 and 2009 were analyzed through the HIPERDIA system of João Pessoa-PB city. Data referring to number of hypertensive patients registered in that period and association of hypertension with smoking, sedentary habits and overweigh, classified by sex and age group,  were used. Results: files of 7,156 hypertensive elderly registered/accompanied by HIPERDIA by sex and age group were found, with prevalence of arterial hypertension of 8 % in the period of study. Among these users, 68,4% are female and the age group from 60 to 64 presented the greatest number of hypertensive when both sexes are added (23.6%).  In relation to the presence of associated factors, 49% presented overweigh, 51% had sedentary habits and 15.9% smoked. Conclusion: the hypertensive elderly of João Pessoa showed characteristics which are similar to the other regions of the country. It is necessary to promote and implement public policies towards this population with emphasis on prevention and valorization of the services of Basic Attention.

Utilizaram-se os dados já tabulados: número de hipertensos cadastrados no período e associação da hipertensão com tabagismo, sedentarismo e sobrepeso estratificados por sexo e faixa etária. Resultados: foram encontrados registros de 7156 idosos hipertensos cadastrados/ acompanhados pelo HIPERDIA por sexo e faixa etária, com prevalência de hipertensão arterial de 8% no período estudado. Destes usuários, 68,4% são do sexo feminino e a faixa etária de 60 a 64 anos apresentou o maior número de hipertensos somado ambos os sexos (23,6%). Quanto à presença de fatores associados, 49% apresentaram sobrepeso, 51% eram sedentários e 15,9% tabagistas. Conclusão: os hipertensos mostraram características semelhantes às demais regiões do país. Faz-se necessário incentivar e implementar políticas públicas voltadas a essa população, enfatizando a prevenção e valorizando os serviços de Atenção Básica.
