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.

ABSTRACTObjective: to identify the prevalence of hypertension and risk factors (RF) associated in nurses and nursing technicians in a general hospital, combining the results of the professions, shifts and working places. Methodology: this is about a cross-sectional study with two hundred professionals. It was applied a structured questionnaire, measure the stress (ISMA) and the measurements of BP, BMI and WC. Results: the mean age was 32,9 ± 8,9 , females 85.5%, white 91.5% and hypertension of 34%. For the multivariate model, factors associated with hypertension were the night shift, the age, the sex, the obesity, and the nursing profession. Conclusion: a rolling program of health education and a institution’s policy focused on prevention of risk factors should be adopted. For being a young population more sensitive as other measures of HRV measure is needed to refine results to be adopted by the institution because it is a young population and more sensitive measures of HRV as a measure is needed to refine results. Descriptors: hypertension; risk factors; nursing team.RESUMOObjetivo: identificar a prevalência de HAS e fatores de riscos (FR) associados em enfermeiros e técnicos de enfermagem em um Hospital geral, associando os resultados entre as profissões, turnos e locais de trabalho.

Objective The aims of the present study were to describe the prevalence of vulnerability in a cohort of newborns, identify the factors that increase the risk of vulnerability and examine whether those who are most vulnerable are receiving home visits. Methods A prospective cross-sectional study was performed using data collected from questionnaires completed by child and family health nurses and obstetric discharge summaries for each mother–baby dyad. Descriptive frequencies and percentages are used to describe the proportions of children who were vulnerable, offered services and had risk factors for vulnerability. Categorical data were compared using Pearson’s Chi-squared analysis. Results In all, 1517 newborns were included in the present study. Of these, 40.5% were identified as vulnerable and 13.9% had two or more risk factors for vulnerability (95% confidence interval (CI) 12–16%). The most common risk factors were biological. Across all newborns, 33.7% were visited at home, and 74.6% of vulnerable newborns were offered a home visit. Children identified as vulnerable were more likely to have a home visit than those who were not (z for 95% CI=1.96; P&lt;0.1). Conclusions Although the high reported prevalence of identified risk needs to be confirmed in further studies, identifying vulnerability allowed the offer of home visiting to be directed towards those most likely to benefit. What is known about the topic? Of the Australian child population, 10–20% are vulnerable to adverse health, developmental and wellbeing outcomes. Vulnerable infants are at a greater risk of becoming vulnerable children, adolescents and adults over the life course. Biological and psychosocial risk factors for vulnerability are well described. Families with the greatest need are often the least likely to access or receive support, and have lower utilisation of preventative health services despite evidence that support in the first few years of life can significantly improve long-term outcomes. What does this paper add? This paper provides a detailed description of vulnerabilities in a cohort of newborns and demonstrates that it is possible to assign risk of vulnerability within existing child and family health services using tools that identify biological and psychosocial risk factors. Identification of vulnerability risk allows prioritisation of services to those with the greatest need. What are the implications for practitioners? It is possible to identify vulnerability risk within child and family health services. This allows those families at risk of future adverse health, developmental and wellbeing outcomes to be prioritised to receive health services and supports.

Objetivo: identificar o perfil epidemiológico, os fatores associados ao óbito e nortear as intervenções de enfermagem frente aos pacientes com sepse de foco abdominal. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, transversal, realizado com 40 pacientes internados em uma em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. Realizou-se a associação com o óbito por meio dos testes de qui-quadrado de Pearson e exato de Fisher. Apresentaram-se os resultados em forma de tabelas. Resultados: registra-se que, dos 40 (100%) pacientes, 57,5% eram do sexo masculino, 67,5% tinham um diagnóstico inicial pertencente ao sistema gastrointestinal. Elencam-se as variáveis que apresentaram a associação com o óbito nesta UTI: idade maior a 60 anos, que, embora representasse apenas 22,5% da amostra, respondeu por, aproximadamente, 90% das mortes (p-valor 0,005) e pacientes que foram classificados com choque séptico, já que 56,7% dos 75% foram a óbito (p-valor 0,04). Conclusão: entende-se que os fatores de risco associados ao óbito nos pacientes com sepse de foco abdominal na UTI estão relacionados com idade maior a 60 anos e com choque séptico.

Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study of 40 patients hospitalized in one in an Intensive Care Unit. The association with death was performed using Pearson's chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. Results were presented in the form of tables. Results: it was recorded that of the 40 (100%) patients, 57.5% were male, 67.5% had an initial diagnosis belonging to the gastrointestinal system. The variables that showed association with death in this ICU were: age greater than 60 years, which, although representing only 22.5% of the sample, accounted for approximately 90% of the deaths (p-value 0.005) and patients which were classified as septic shock, since 56.7% of the 75% died (p-value 0.04). Conclusion: it is understood that the risk factors associated with death in patients with sepsis of abdominal focus in the ICU are related to age greater than 60 years and with septic shock.

El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar factores protectores y factores de riesgo asociados al consumo de alcohol en estudiantes universitarios de ambos sexos. Fueron medidos sobre la base de un estudio descriptivo y transversal realizado en el curso 2007-2008 en la Universidad de Huelva. Para el análisis de las relaciones entre variables se utilizó el test de chi-cuadrado de Pearson. Para identificar factores de riesgo y protectores se realizó un análisis de regresión logística binomial. Los resultados confirmaron la influencia del policonsumo como principal factor de riesgo, así como el sexo. De igual modo los “botellones”, según mostraron los resultados, pierden poder predictivo respecto al consumo habitual, siendo los hábitos de lectura, la afición por la música y la edad factores protectores de este tipo de consumo. Finalmente, un bajo consumode alcohol en el medio universitario, la asistencia frecuente a clasee inferiores niveles de consumo semanal de alcohol, se revelaron como factores protectores. AbsctractThe main aim of this study is to identify protective factors and risk factors linked to alcohol consumption in university students of both sexes. These factors were measured on the basis of a descriptive cross-sectional study developed in 2007-2008 at the University of Huelva. In order to analyze the relations among variables, we have used the chi-square test of Pearson. To identify risk and protective factors a binomial logistic regression analysis was conducted. The results confirm the influence of policonsumption and sex as the main risk factors. "Botellones" decrease predictive degree when compared with usual consumption. Reading habit, love of music and age behave as protective factors against drugs consumption. Finally, lower drinking degrees inside the college, higher frequency of attendance and lower weekly alcohol consumption, are protective factors.
