Hypertension bearers with high risk/big risk of cardiovascular diseases and socioeconomic and health indicators.

OBJECTIVE: To correlate the number of hypertensive patients with high and very high risk for cardiovascular diseases with socioeconomic and health indicators. METHODS: An ecological study carried out from the National Registry of Hypertension and Diabetes (SisHiperDia). The variable "hypertensive patients with high and very high risk" was correlated with the Human Development Index, health care costs and services, average household income per capita, per capita municipal income, number of hospital admissions in SUS, number of medical consultations in the SUS and specific mortality due to diseases of the circulatory system, considering the 27 federative units of Brazil. The data was processed in software IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics, version 22.00. The statistical analysis considered the level of significance p<0.05. RESULTS: Brazilian states with more hypertensive registries in high/very high risk spend more on public health, fewer people reach the elderly age group and more deaths from diseases of the circulatory system (p<0.05). The very high risk stratum correlated with more physicians per population (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Systemic arterial hypertension has a direct impact on life expectancy and also on the economic context, since when it evolves to high and very high risk for cardiovascular diseases, it generates more expenses in health and demand more professionals, burdening the public health system. Monitoring is necessary in order to consolidate public policies to promote the health of hypertensive individuals.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Correlacionar o número de cadastros de hipertensos com risco alto e muito alto para doenças cardiovasculares com os indicadores socioeconômicos e de saúde. MÉTODOS Estudo ecológico realizado a partir do Sistema Nacional de Cadastro de Hipertensão e Diabetes (SisHiperDia). A variável "hipertensos com risco alto e muito alto" foi correlacionada ao Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano, gastos com ações e serviços de saúde, renda média domiciliar per capita, renda municipal per capita, número de internações hospitalares no SUS, número de consultas médicas no SUS e mortalidade específica por doenças do aparelho circulatório, considerando as 27 unidades federativas do Brasil. Os dados foram processados no software IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics, versão 22.00. A análise estatística considerou o nível de significância p < 0,05. RESULTADOS Estados brasileiros com mais cadastros de hipertensos em riscos alto/muito alto gastam mais na saúde pública, menos pessoas alcançam a faixa etária idosa e há mais mortes por doenças do aparelho circulatório (p < 0,05). O estrato de risco muito alto correlacionou com mais médicos por habitantes (p < 0,05). CONCLUSÃO A hipertensão arterial sistêmica impacta diretamente a expectativa de vida e também o contexto económico, pois, quando evolui para risco alto e muito alto, para as doenças cardiovasculares, gera mais gastos em saúde e demanda mais profissionais, onerando o sistema público de saúde. É necessário monitoramento, em busca da consolidação das políticas públicas de promoção da saúde dos hipertensos.
