Potential years of life lost to cancer in Mato Grosso, stratified by sex: 2000 to 2019.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the potential years of life lost (PYLL) to cancer in the State of Mato Grosso, from 2000 to 2019, stratified by sex, according to age groups and cancer types. METHODS: It is a quantitative study with an ecological approach developed from secondary data, using the PYLL and its derivatives. RESULTS: In the period analyzed, deaths from cancer in Mato Grosso resulted in 680,338 PYLL before the age of 80, with a variation of 82.5%. Of this total, 52.7% were assigned to males. The rate of the PYLL for cancer before the age of 60 was 70.9% in males, and 80.1% among women. The rates of PYLL increased in the period and showed slightly higher values in males. In the analysis according to age group, the rates of PYLL were also higher in males, except between the ages of 30 and 49. Lung cancers and lymphomas/leukemias resulted in greater losses of PYLL among men and female specific cancers (breast, cervical and uterine, and ovarian cancer) accounted for 36.26% of the PYLL among women, with variability per age groups. CONCLUSION: In Mato Grosso, the PYLL indicator for cancer presented unfavorable evolution between 2000 and 2019, with greater damage for males and for the younger population. Leukemias, lymphomas, and lung and breast cancers were the main causes for the PYLL.

Recent dengue virus infection: epidemiological survey on risk factors associated with infection in a medium-sized city in Mato Grosso.

BACKGROUND: Dengue is considered to be the most important arbovirus worldwide, with important complications that increase its lethality. In Brazil, an endemic country, the disease reaches significant incidence levels, with occurrences of serious cases and high costs of hospitalizations for its treatment. OBJECTIVE: To analyze risk factors among individuals with recent histories of dengue infection in a medium-sized city in Mato Grosso. DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive cross-sectional study, of epidemiological-survey type, conducted among the urban population of a city located in mid-northern Mato Grosso. METHODS: A seroepidemiological survey using questionnaires and collection of biological material was conducted among 596 adults aged ≥ 18 years who had been selected through a cluster sampling process. Positive dengue cases were those with positive results from anti-dengue immunoassays (ELISA). Statistical analyses with descriptive and inferential techniques were used, with 95% confidence intervals and a 5% significance level. RESULTS: The seroepidemiological profile of the study participants was predominantly female, with ages between 18 and 39 years, self-declared non-white race/color, not more than eight years of education and not living with a companion. Among the sanitary factors analyzed, the following were risk factors for dengue virus infection: no running water at home; no water supply from the public piped network; no waste from drains or toilets sent to the sewage network; endemic disease combat agents visiting the home; and presence of mosquito breeding sites at home. CONCLUSION: Low schooling levels and previous dengue virus infection were associated with current dengue virus infection.

Knowledge and actions for the control of the vector Aedes aegypti in a municipality in the Legal Amazon.

Infections caused by arboviruses that have mostly impacted the Brazilian morbidity and mortality are caused by the same vector, Aedes aegypti. Preventive actions related to the vector are the most effective strategies in the prevention and control of these diseases. This study aimed to associate the knowledge on the vector that transmits dengue, Zika and chikungunya with the sociodemographic and behavioral preventive practices towards Aedes aegypti in the municipality of Tangara da Serra, Mato Grosso State, in the Brazilian Legal Amazon. A probabilistic urban population sampling was obtained by clusters: census sectors and households. The sample size calculation considered 10% of loss and a 1.5 design effect. This is a cross-sectional research carried out through a household survey in February and March 2018. There were 583 participants. The study variables were knowledge on the vector, sociodemographic characteristics and preventive practices related to the vector. The statistical analysis was based on a bivariate analysis and Poisson multiple regressions. Inadequate or insufficient knowledge on the vector Aedes aegypti remained associated with education in the categories illiterate (p<0.001) and 8 years of study or less (p<0.001), in addition to not adopting practices of capping and cleaning the water tank (p=0.002) and not using insecticides at home (p=0.007). It is concluded that there is a need for health communication actions that consider characteristics the population, especially the level of education and previous knowledge on the vector, allowing a dialogical approach and enabling the community participation in preventive practices and control of the vector Aedes aegypti .

Orthohantavirus Survey in Indigenous Lands in a Savannah-Like Biome, Brazil.

In Brazil, the first confirmed cases of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome in Indigenous populations occurred in 2001. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of orthohantavirus infections in the Utiariti Indigenous land located in the southeastern region of the Brazilian Amazon. In December 2014 and 2015, a survey was conducted using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in nine villages belonging to the Haliti-Paresí Indigenous communities. A total of 301 participants were enrolled in the study. Of the two study cohorts, the one from 2014 showed a prevalence of 12.4%, whereas the one from 2015 had a serum prevalence of 13.4%. Analysis of the paired samples of 110 Indigenous people who participated in both stages of the study enabled identification of four individuals who had seroconverted during the study period. Identifying the circulation of orthohantaviruses in the Utiariti Indigenous land highlights a serious public health problem in viral expansion and highlights the need to implement preventive measures appropriate to the sociocultural reality of these communities.

Influence of climatic variables on the Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus populations in Mato Grosso, Brazil.

INTRODUCTION: Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus are vector species responsible for the transmission of important arboviruses. METHODS: Adult mosquitoes were collected in the urban areas of four municipalities in Mato Grosso within 1 year. RESULTS: A total of 19,110 mosquitoes were collected. Among them, 16,578 (86,8%) were C. quinquefasciatus (44% female and 56% male); 2,483 (13%), A. (Stegomyia) aegypti (54% female and 46% male); and 49 (0,30%), from the genus Psorophora, Anopheles, Coquilettidia, and Sabethes. A significant correlation was observed between the number of mosquitoes from all species and dew point (female mosquitoes, p = 0.001; male mosquitoes, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study may be used as environmental indicators of mosquito populations.

Cardiovascular Risk in Women Deprived of Freedom from a Public Prison in Mato Grosso, Brazil.

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular diseases occur worldwide and have progressively affected the female sex, without distinction of life context; however, the prison environment may intensify the risk of developing them. AIM: To evaluate the cardiovascular risk in women deprived of freedom from a public prison in Mato Grosso, Brazil. METHODS: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and analytical study performed with all incarcerated women from the prison institution in the second half of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, through a structured questionnaire and statistical analysis through the RStudio. RESULTS: The results showed that, although participants presented low cardiovascular risk, the BMI values pointed to overweight in all the years analyzed, in addition to the waist-to-height ratio, conicity index, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio presenting similar means or that transcend the established cutoff point. There was an association between the anthropometric variables and age, conjugal status, education, alcoholism, systolic blood pressure, metabolic complications, sleep and a family history of non-communicable chronic diseases. The BMI variable showed association with all anthropometric variables related to cardiovascular risk, except to WHR. CONCLUSION: When considering the ambience factor, modifiable risk factors may negatively influence the long-term health of these women, particularly in relation to the cardiovascular system. The found scenario, in relation to the cardiovascular risk, points to the need for interventions, regarding the clinical condition and life-styles adopted by this population.

Insect-specific viruses and arboviruses in adult male culicids from Midwestern Brazil.

Viruses were identified from male anthropophilic mosquitoes from Mato Grosso (MT) State, Midwest Brazil from February 2017 to January 2018. Mosquitoes tested included Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (1139 males; 84 pools), Culex quinquefasciatus (9426 males; 179 pools), Culex sp. (3 males; 3 pools) and Psorophora albigenu (1 male; 1 pool) collected from four cities of MT. Pools were subjected to viral RNA extraction followed by RT-PCRs specific for ten flaviviruses, five alphaviruses and Simbu serogroup of orthobunyaviruses. Positive pools were passaged three times in VERO cells (alphavirus and orthobunyavirus) or C6/36 cells (flavivirus), with isolates confirmed through RT-PCR and nucleotide sequencing. We detected pools positive for Ilhéus (1 pool), dengue serotype 4 (1), Mayaro (12), equine encephalitis virus (1) yellow fever (1), Oropouche (2), Zika (4) and chikungunya (12) viruses. High throughput sequencing of arbovirus positive pools identified 35 insect-specific viruses (ISVs) from the families Circoviridae (2), Parvoviridae (2), Totiviridae (1), Flaviviridae (1), Iflaviridae (2), Mesoniviridae (4), Nodaviridae (2), Luteoviridae (1), Phasmaviridae (1) Phenuiviridae (2), Rhabdoviridae (2), Orthomyxoviridae (1), Xinmoviridae (1), and unclassified Bunyavirales (1), unclassified Picornavirales (3), unclassified Riboviria (4) and taxon Negevirus (5). From these, five novel viruses were tentatively named Mojica circovirus, Kuia iflavirus, Muxirum negevirus, Lambada picorna-like virus and Tacuru picorna-like virus. Our findings underscore the diversity and wide geographical distribution of ISVs and arboviruses infecting male culicids.

Malaria and Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in Gold Mining in the Amazon Region, Brazil.

People living in mining regions are exposed to numerous biological agents by several specific types of transmission mechanisms. This study is designed to describe fatal hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) cases confirmed by serology and molecular analysis, where a seroprevalence survey was conducted in the gold mining regions of the state of Mato Grosso, in the official Amazon region, Brazil. Two fatal cases of HPS were confirmed in a mining area in the Legal Amazon, where malaria is one of the most important public health problems. A molecular analysis detected the presence of the genome of the Castelo dos Sonhos virus. Out of the 112 blood samples analyzed, five were positive for Plasmodium infection (four P. falciparum and one P. vivax), and four were seropositive for hantavirus, showing a seroprevalence of 3.57%. One of the four miners who was seroreactive for hantavirus concomitantly had P. falciparum infection, which was confirmed by thick blood smear. This manuscript highlights the importance of considering hantavirus pulmonary syndrome as a diagnostic possibility in febrile infection associated with pulmonary manifestations in mining areas where malaria cases are often identified.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in children: case report and case series from an endemic area of Brazil.

Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (HCPS) is an important emergent zoonosis associated with wild rodents in Brazil, where this viral infection in children is generally rare. We present HCPS in a child from the Pantanal Biome and a review of all reported pediatric cases in Mato Grosso State, an endemic area for HCPS in Brazil. The investigation used the Information System for Notifiable Diseases database (SINAN). A 12-year-old boy was hospitalized with fever and respiratory failure and hantavirus IgM and IgG antibodies were detected by ELISA in serum samples. During the period of 1999 to 2016, 32 HCPS pediatric cases confirmed by serology were reported to SINAN with a mortality rate of 34.4%. The possibility of hantavirus infection in children with acute febrile illness associated with respiratory failure should be considered mainly in recognized endemic areas as Mato Grosso State, contradicting a hypothesis that children are more protected from lung involvement.

Profile of congenital anomalies among live births in the municipality of Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, Brazil, 2006-2016. / Perfil das anomalias congênitas em nascidos vivos de Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, 2006-2016.

OBJECTIVE: to describe congenital anomalies (CA) among live births of mothers resident in Tangará da Serra, MT, Brazil, during the period 2006-2016. METHODS: this was a descriptive study, using Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC) data. RESULTS: out of 15,689 births, 77 were registered with CA (prevalence of 4.9/1,000); there was an 80.7% increase of recorded CA in 2016, accounting for 10.3/1,000 live births, including five cases of microcephaly; CA prevalence was higher among children born to women aged over 35 years (prevalence ratio [PR] =1.91; confidence interval [95%CI] 1.01;3.60), preterm (PR=2.22; 95%CI 1.26;3.92) and low birth weight infants (PR=3.21; 95%CI 1.86;5.54). CONCLUSION: low CA prevalence was found, possibly related to under-recording at birth; the increase observed in 2016 may be related to the Zika epidemic causing microcephaly, as well as greater attention by health professionals in relation to CA during this public health emergency.

PERFIL DE REEDUCANDAS MATO-GROSSENSES: UMA ANÁLISE DE QUATRO ANOS DE COORTE / PROFILE OF MATO-GROSSENSE REEDUCANDS: AN ANALYSIS OF FOUR YEARS OF COHORT

Objetivo: Analisar o perfil sociodemográfico e prisional das reeducadas em 2016, 2017, 2018 e 2019 na região médio norte de Mato Grosso. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de coorte aberta, analisando resultados ao decorrer de 4 anos. A coleta de dados foi realizada em novembro de 2016, 2017, 2018 e 2019 através de entrevista individual baseada em formulário semiestruturado, com todas as reeducadas em regime provisório e condenadas da Cadeia Pública do Médio Norte mato-grossense. Os dados foram analisados através da estatística descritiva. Resultados: O perfil predominante nos 4 anos da coorte foi de mulheres autodeclaradas pardas, com faixa etária entre 18 e 31 anos, solteiras, com ensino fundamental, donas de casa, com 2 a 4 filhos, detidas pelo crime de tráfico de drogas, sem histórico de antecedentes criminais e com período de reclusão de até dois anos. Histórico de violência é relatado pela maioria com prevalência na violência física. Apenas metade das mulheres receberam visitas familiares, sendo que as únicas visitas íntimas mencionadas foram as de parceiros homossexuais. Adicionalmente observou-se crescimento considerável de mulheres que começaram a cursar o ensino fundamental e médio durante o cárcere. Conclusão: Diante das vulnerabilidades encontradas constata-se que as estratégias em ambiente prisional devem englobar a complexidade das peculiaridades vivenciadas pelas encarceradas.

Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic and prison profile of the re-educated in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 in the northern middle region of Mato Grosso. Methodology: This is an open cohort study, analyzing results over 4 years. Data collection was carried out in November 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 through an individual interview based on a semi-structured form, with all the re-educated on a provisional basis and sentenced from the Public Chain of the Middle North of Mato Grosso. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The predominant profile in the 4 years of the cohort was self-declared brown women, aged between 18 and 31 years old, single, with elementary education, housewives, with 2 to 4 children, detained for the crime of drug trafficking, without criminal history and with a prison term of up to two years. History of violence is reported by the majority with prevalence in physical violence. Only half of the women received family visits, and the only intimate visits mentioned were those of homosexual partners. In addition, there was a considerable growth in women who started to attend elementary and high school during prison. Conclusion: In view of the vulnerabilities found, it appears that strategies in the prison environment must encompass the complexity of the peculiarities experienced by prisoners.

Sociodemographic and sanitary profile of chikungunya virus infection in medium-sized municipality in Mato Grosso, from January to March 2018, Brasil / Perfil sociodemográfico y sanitario de la infección por el virus de la chikungunya en un municipio de tamaño medio de Mato Grosso, de enero a marzo de 2018, Brasil

Abstract Introduction: The chikungunya virus has already been identified in more than 60 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, and chronicity after the disease impacts the lives of those affected by the virus, as well as society, the economy and public health. The objective was to characterize, through epidemiological survey, the profile of chikungunya infection in a mid-sized municipality in Mato Grosso according to sociodemographic and sanitary factors. Methods: The serum-epidemiological survey was conducted with 596 adults aged ≥ 18 years selected by cluster sampling process, with application of questionnaires and biological material collection. Positive cases of chikungunya fever were those with positive results in the anti-chikungunya virus enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). The statistical analyses used descriptive and inferential techniques with confidence intervals of 95% and a significance level of 5%. Results: The overall prevalence of chikungunya fever found in the community was 8.4%. The profile of infection by chikungunya fever is composed of women (p<0.204), aged between 18 and 39 years (p<0.780), more than 08 years of study (p<0.079), non-white reported race/color p<0.871) and employed in the past 12 months (p<0.927). Not residing with affective companion was statistically significant for infection by chikungunya virus (CHIKV) (p<0.028). Conclusion: The study found that women are the most affected by the infection, as well as being single represented a risk factor, and risk behaviors, such as presence of larvae and breeding of mosquitos at home, reflect a low level of awareness of the disease.

Resumen Introducción: el virus chikunugnya ya se ha identificado en más de 60 países de Asia, África, Europa y América, y la cronicidad después de la enfermedad afecta la vida de los afectados por el virus, así como la sociedad, la economía y la salud pública. El objetivo fue caracterizar, mediante encuestas epidemiológicas, el perfil de la infección por chikungunya en un municipio de tamaño medio en Mato Grosso de acuerdo con factores sociodemográficos y sanitarios. Métodos: La encuesta epidemiológica en suero se realizó con 596 adultos de ≥ 18 años seleccionados mediante un proceso de muestreo por conglomerados, con aplicación de cuestionarios y recolección de material biológico. Los casos positivos de fiebre chikungunya fueron aquellos con resultados positivos en el inmunoensayo enzimático del virus anti-chikungunya (ELISA). Los análisis estadísticos utilizaron técnicas descriptivas e inferenciales con intervalos de confianza del 95% y un nivel de significación del 5%. Resultados: La prevalencia general de fiebre chikungunya encontrada en la comunidad fue de 8.4%. El perfil de infección por fiebre chikungunya está compuesto por mujeres (p <0.204), con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 39 años (p <0.780), más de 08 años de estudio (p <0.079), raza/color no blanco (p <0.871) y empleado en los últimos 12 meses (p <0.927). No residir con compañero afectivo fue estadísticamente significativo para la infección por el virus chikungunya (CHIKV) (p <0.028). Conclusión: El estudio encontró que las mujeres son las más afectadas por la infección, además de ser solteras representaban un factor de riesgo, y los comportamientos de riesgo, como la presencia de larvas y la cría de mosquitos en el hogar, reflejan un bajo nivel de conciencia de la enfermedad.

Risk factors influencing food habits of overweight and obese incarcerated women / Fatores de risco que influenciam os hábitos alimentares de reeducandas com sobrepeso e obesidade

INTRODUCTION: Chronic diseases stand out on the world stage due to the impact they cause on population morbidity and mortality. In the case of persons deprived of their liberty, the situation is intensified by the restriction in the choice of food and access to physical exercise. OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors that influence the eating habits of overweight and obese incarcerated women. METHODS: Cross-sectional study, conducted with 31 participants. Data collection took place in the second half of 2018, comprising individual interviews of incarcerated women using a semi-structured questionnaire and measurement of anthropometric measures. The data were systematized in electronic spreadsheets and statistical analysis was performed in a descriptive way. The study complied with ethical standards from national guidelines. RESULTS: A greater prevalence of overweight and obesity was identified in young, multiparous women, with low education and lower income. Most used tobacco and had less than a year in prison. Despite being overweight and obese, they felt good about their body, which may be reflecting on their lifestyle, through sedentary lifestyle, self-care deficit and consumption of products and foods with low nutritional value. CONCLUSION: Overweight and obesity are multifactorial and are not related only to behavioral aspects. It is necessary to carry out new research approaches that clarify the health weaknesses in prison, making it possible to provide a better quality of life for this population group.

Em se tratando de pessoas privadas de liberdade a situação é intensificada pela restrição na escolha dos alimentos e acesso ao exercício físico. OBJETIVO: Identificar os fatores de risco que influenciam os hábitos alimentares de reeducandas com sobrepeso e obesidade. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo transversal, realizado com 31 reeducandas. A coleta de dados aconteceu no segundo semestre de 2018, junto as mulheres em situação de prisão por meio de entrevista individual com o uso de questionário semiestruturado e aferição de medidas antropométricas. Os dados foram sistematizados em planilhas eletrônicas sendo realizada a análise estatística de forma descritiva. O estudo atendeu normas éticas previstas na resolução 466/12. RESULTADOS: Foi identificado maior predomínio de sobrepeso e obesidade em mulheres jovens, multíparas, com baixa escolaridade e menor renda. A maioria fazia uso de tabaco e possuíam menos de um ano de detenção. Apesar de estarem na condição de sobrepeso e obesidade se sentiam bem com o seu corpo, o que pode estar refletindo em seu estilo de vida, através do sedentarismo, do déficit do autocuidado e do consumo de produtos e alimentos com baixo valor nutricional. CONCLUSÃO: Sobrepeso e obesidade são multifatoriais não estando relacionado apenas aos aspectos comportamentais. É necessário realizar novas abordagens de pesquisas que elucidem as fragilidades de saúde no cárcere, possibilitando proporcionar melhor qualidade de vida para esse grupo populacional.

Use of auriculotherapy to control of low back pain, anxiety and stress of professionals of the correctional system / Uso da auriculoterapia no controle da lombalgia, ansiedade e estresse de profissionais do sistema penitenciário

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Auriculotherapy is an integrative practice used to relieve physical and emotional symptoms, especially in relation to pain. It has a low cost and easy applicability, which makes it a viable and eligible therapeutic resource. The present study aimed to identify the contributions of auriculotherapy to improve the quality of life of professionals of the correctional system. METHODS: Experimental study, with data collection between July and December 2018 in the female public prison of a city of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Low back pain, anxiety, and stress were the symptoms selected for the intervention with auriculotherapy evaluated at each auriculotherapy session by psychometric instruments. Data analysis was performed using STATA software version 12.0. RESULTS: Women aged between 30 and 44 years old, brown, with complete higher education and living with spouse prevailed. There was a greater reduction in the intensity of symptoms in the intervention group, especially in relation to stress and low back pain, which indicates the effectiveness of auriculotherapy in this group. CONCLUSION: Auriculotherapy has shown promising in this occupational context and can bring direct benefits to professionals, both in relation to the willingness to work and to promote the quality of life.

Possui baixo custo e fácil aplicabilidade, o que torna um recurso terapêutico viável e elegível. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as contribuições da auriculoterapia para a promoção da qualidade de vida de profissionais do sistema penitenciário. MÉTODOS: Estudo experimental, com coleta de dados entre julho e dezembro de 2018 na cadeia pública feminina de um município mato-grossense, Brasil. Foram elencados os sintomas lombalgia, ansiedade e estresse para a intervenção com auriculoterapia, sendo avaliados a cada sessão por meio de instrumentos psicométricos. A análise dos dados foi realizada através do programa STATA versão 12.0. RESULTADOS: Houve prevalência de mulheres com idade entre 30 e 44 anos, cor parda, com ensino superior completo e residindo com cônjuge. Verificou-se redução mais acentuada da intensidade dos sintomas no grupo intervenção, especialmente em relação ao estresse e lombalgia, o que aponta a efetividade da auriculoterapia nesse grupo. CONCLUSÃO: A auriculoterapia mostrou-se promissora neste contexto ocupacional, podendo trazer benefícios diretos aos profissionais, tanto em relação à disposição para o exercício laboral quanto para a promoção da qualidade de vida.

Influence of climatic variables on the Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus populations in Mato Grosso, Brazil

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus are vector species responsible for the transmission of important arboviruses. METHODS: Adult mosquitoes were collected in the urban areas of four municipalities in Mato Grosso within 1 year. RESULTS: A total of 19,110 mosquitoes were collected. Among them, 16,578 (86,8%) were C. quinquefasciatus (44% female and 56% male); 2,483 (13%), A. (Stegomyia) aegypti (54% female and 46% male); and 49 (0,30%), from the genus Psorophora, Anopheles, Coquilettidia, and Sabethes. A significant correlation was observed between the number of mosquitoes from all species and dew point (female mosquitoes, p = 0.001; male mosquitoes, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study may be used as environmental indicators of mosquito populations.

Níveis pressóricos de uma comunidade indígena do cerrado brasileiro / Pressorial levels of an indigenous community of the Brazilian closure

Buscou-se analisar os níveis pressóricos dos Haliti-Paresí e sua relação com alguns aspectos sociodemográficos. Trata-se de estudo transversal, descritivo e com abordagem quantitativa, realizado com a comunidade indígena Haliti-Paresí. A coleta de dados foi realizada em dezembro de 2015 com os residentes da terra indígena Utiariti. Realizou-se a análise estatística bivariada da Pressão Arterial (PA), Pressão Arterial Sistólica (PAS) e Pressão Arterial Diastólica (PAD) em função das variáveis independentes, sendo que as variáveis que apresentaram significância estatística com p<0,05 foram utilizadas para construir o modelo de regressão de Poisson robusto. Foi possível identificar o predomínio de jovens e com ensino fundamental incompleto. A hipertensão no estágio 1 apresentou prevalência de PA (21,85%), PAS (14,29%) e PAD (17,65%) (p<0,001). Na análise bivariada foram identificadas significâncias estatísticas para PA e PAS nas variáveis independentes sexo masculino, idade maior que 60 anos e realizar a atividade agrícola, caça, pesca e coleta. No entanto, a PAD apresentou as mesmas significâncias estatísticas supracitadas, porém sem associação com idade. Faz-se necessária a realização de ações de promoção, prevenção e elaboração de planos estratégicos que visam ampliar os hábitos saudáveis e consequente elevação da qualidade de vida desses indígenas.(AU)

The aim was to analyze the pressure levels of the Haliti-Paresí and their relationship with some sociodemographic aspects. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach, carried out with the Haliti-Paresí indigenous community. Data collection was carried out in December 2015 with residents of Utiariti indigenous land. The bivariate statistical analysis of the arterial pressure (BP), systolic arterial pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was performed as a function of the independent variables, and the variables that presented statistical significance with p <0.05, were used to construct the robust Poisson regression model. It was possible to identify the predominance of young people with incomplete primary education. Hypertension in stage 1 presented a prevalence of AP (21.85%), SBP (14.29%) and DBP (17.65%) (p <0.001). In the bivariate analysis, statistical significance was identified for PA and SBP in the independent variables male sex, age > 60 years and to perform the agricultural activity, hunting, fishing and collection. However, PAD presented the same statistical significance as above, but without association with age. It is necessary to carry out actions of promotion, prevention and elaboration of strategic plans that aim to increase the healthy habits and consequent elevation of the quality of life of these natives.(AU)
