Abstract:

Objective: To study the association between lifestyle and weight status and prevalence of Hypertension self-reported, weighted by the System of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Non-communicable Diseases through Telephone Interviews (VIGITEL) and standardized by age and sex, in adults from 26 Brazilian state capitals and Federal District. Methods: An ecological study that evaluated lifestyle factors, weight status and prevalence of self-reported hypertension obtained by the Surveillance VIGITEL in 2008. For each city the prevalence of hypertension was standardized by the direct method. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed between the factors of interest and the prevalence of hypertension, weighted by VIGITEL and standardized by gender and age. Results: After standardization, the prevalence of hypertension tended to increase in capitals with a younger population and decrease in those with a higher proportion of elderly. In regression models, remained associated with the prevalence of hypertension, weighted and standardized, the proportions of overweight and recommended fruit and vegetables (FV). But, the proportion of physical activity was negatively correlated only to the weighted prevalence of hypertension. Conclusion: we observed with weighted and standardized prevalence of hypertension a positive association with overweight and regular consumption of FV.
