Resumo: Hipertensão Arterial é definida como elevação da pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica acima de 140/90mmHg, respectivamente. Estima-se que mais de 50% dos pacientes acima de 60 anos tenham hipertensão, o que deixa essa população sob risco aumentado de doenças em órgãos alvo como coração, rins e cérebro, aumentando também a morbimortalidade desta população. Diversos estudos comprovam que a terapia anti-hipertensiva reduz o risco e a morbimortalidade cardiovascular, cerebral e renal. No presente trabalho foi realizado um estudo transversal, observacional, prospectivo, onde foram avaliadas as medidas da pressão arterial de 24 pacientes idosos do grupo de 70 pacientes hipertensos do ambulatório do Programa Saúde da Família da cidade de Mata, interior do RS. Foi utilizada estatística descritiva e distribuição por freqüência, além do teste “t” de Student para comparação de médias, com nível de significância de 5% para análise dos dados. A pressão sistólica variou entre 120 e 180mmHg, a diastólica entre 60 e 100mmHg. Em 17 (70,83%) dos pacientes não houve associação da hipertensão com outra doença crônica, em quatro (16,22%) havia associado diabete melito tipo II e três (12,50%) tinham dislipidemia. Predominou o sexo feminino em 75% (18) dos pacientes estudados. A pressão sistólica estava acima de 140mmHg em 10 (41,67%) dos pacientes entre os quais havia quatro (16,67%) com a diastólica acima de 90mmHg. Dois quintos dos idosos, mesmo sob tratamento ambulatorial, não apresentava controle da hipertensão arterial adequado. Palavras-chave: Hipertensão. Idoso. Controle. Abstract: Hypertension is defined as an elevation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure above 140/90mmHg. More than 50% of patients over 60 years have hypertension, which increases the risk of cerebrovascular, kidney and heart diseases in this population. The anti-hypertensive therapy reduces risks according several studies. This cross sectional hypertension study of the elderly patients over 60 years old analyzed blood pressure in two opportunities separated by two days. Twenty-four patients had the blood pressure measured among 70 patients. Results: the systolic blood pressure were between 120-190mmHg, the diastolic blood pressure between 60-100mmHg. Eighteen (75%) were women, 17 (70.83%) does not have other chronic diseases, four (16.22%) had diabetes type II, three (12.50%) were dislipidemic. In ten (41.67%) patients the systolic blood pressure was over 140mmHg and four (16.67%) had the diastolic blood pressure over 90mmHg. The hypertension was uncontrolled in two fifty of elderly patients. Keywords: Hypertension. Elderly. Control.

Background: Hypertension is a highly prevalent health problem which incidence is greatest among the elderly. Hypertension may increase creatinine level and leads to other health problems like diabetes mellitus, kidney damage, and cardiovascular disease. Wrist circumference is a simple anthropometric measurement that can be used to identify hypertension and increasing level of serum creatinine.Objectives: To analyze the correlation of wrist circumference with blood pressure and creatinine level among the elderly.Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a purposive sampling method. Subjects of this study were 84 women aged 60 years old or above at Unit Rehabilitasi Sosial Pucang Gading Semarang. The independent variable of this study was wrist circumference, and the dependent variables were systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and creatinine level. The result was analyzed using the Spearman-rho test.Results: The participants of this research were 49% women aged 60-65 years old, with an average age was 65.5 years old. The prevalence of hypertension was 61.9%. Most hypertension incidence in this research was caused by high systolic blood pressure (50%), and the rest was caused by high diastolic blood pressure (3.9%) and both (46.1%). The level of creatinine was normal with an average level was 0.75 mg/dL. There was no correlation of wrist circumference with systolic blood pressure systolic (r=0.15; p=0.19), diastolic blood pressure (r=0.1; p=0.38), and creatinine serum (r=0.18; p=0.09) among elderly.Conclusions: There was no correlation of wrist circumference with blood pressure and creatinine level among the elderly.

This study aimed to determine which of four selected physical fitness variables, would be most associated with blood pressure changes (systolic and diastolic) in a large sample of adolescents. This was a descriptive and cross-sectional, epidemiological study of 1,117 adolescents aged 14–19 years from southern Brazil. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured by a digital pressure device, and the selected physical fitness variables were body composition (body mass index), flexibility (sit-and-reach test), muscle strength/resistance (manual dynamometer), and aerobic fitness (Modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test). Simple and multiple linear regression analyses revealed that aerobic fitness and muscle strength/resistance best explained variations in systolic blood pressure for boys (17.3% and 7.4% of variance) and girls (7.4% of variance). Aerobic fitness, body composition, and muscle strength/resistance are all important indicators of blood pressure control, but aerobic fitness was a stronger predictor of systolic blood pressure in boys and of diastolic blood pressure in both sexes.

The incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is significantly increasing. The elevated serum uric acid (SUA) level is correlated with the metabolic risk of cardiovascular. The relationship between SUA levels and components of MetS has been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to know the correlation between SUA level and component of MetS by analyzng. This study was a cross-sectional design conducted on healthy people at the Medical Check Up (MCU) Clinic, Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta from June 2012 until February 2013. MetS was defined according to the 2005 International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. The statistical analysis was done by Student’s T test, Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients. The researchers considered p<0.05 as statistically significant with a 95% confidence interval. A total of 80 healthy subjects, (range 19–57 years) were enrolled into this study. MetS was diagnosed in 40 persons where men (62.5%) were more than women and the non-MetS in women (62.5%) were more than men. In this study, a positive correlation was found between SUA and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference (Pearson r=0.354, 0.495, 0.399, respectively, p<0.05) in women, but not in men. The SUA was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference, particularly in women. A long term study is needed to investigate the consequence of increasing the SUA level in metabolic disorders and hormonal influences as well.
