Prevention Of Hypertension

The male population can be considered one of the most vulnerable groups to suffer from chronic diseases, taking into account the socio-cultural factors that hinder the search for health services, as well as the objection to prevention and self-care practices. This situation is further aggravated in police officers, due to the inherent attributions of the profession that directly interfere with the stress level and quality of life of these professionals. Therefore, an extension project was carried out to promote health education for civilian male police officers, with emphasis on the care of stress-related diseases such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is an experience report about activities carried out with 83 police officers, from November 2015 to February 2016, in the municipality of Juiz de Fora – MG, Brazil. The project involved the presentation of banners, lectures, and tests to verify blood pressure and blood glucose levels of civilian police officers. At the end of the activities, it was verified g the project performed satisfactorily and fulfilled its objective, which can be proven by the engagement and concern of the participants in improving their quality of life, notably in relation to the themes addressed. It was also noticed the importance of extension activities in university education, insofar as it enabled new experiences and knowledge, as well as the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge obtained while theory.

SummaryAim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of oral health education and non-surgical periodontal therapy on the quality of life for a group of patients with type I diabetes mellitus, in Iasi, Romania.Materials and Method: The study was conducted on 21 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus which also presented a form of periodontitis. We examined: the degree of glycaemic control (by measuring the glycated haemoglobin), the periodontal and oral hygiene parameters at the baseline and after 4 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after the periodontal treatment which consisted in scaling and root planing. The patients also filled an OHIP-14 questionnaire at baseline and 6 month after the periodontal therapy to assess the quality of life.Results and Discussion: We observed a rapid recurrence of the deep periodontal pockets after 12 months in subjects with poor glycaemic control. At baseline, the highest scores for the OHIP-14 were in the sub-domains of pain, discomfort on chewing and self-consciousness.Conclusions: The prolonged poor control of glycaemia is closely related with its complications. The periodontal therapy improved (lower values) the domain codes and final score of the OHIP-14 questionnaire, proving that periodontal health has an impact on the diabetic patients’ quality of life.
