Journal Title: Revista Brasileira de Educação e Saúde - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aimed to identify prevalent diseases and to correlate predictive factors to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in women older than 18 years of age living in Jataí-Goiás-Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative descriptive study carried out in the year 2015 with the evaluation of 255 women members of two Strategic Family Health Units. The research instrument used was a questionnaire with closed answer questions, whose results were analyzed by the SPSS Program - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 17.0. The results show that changes in pressure levels found in this study correlate with marked obesity, anthropometric measurements and Body Mass Index (BMI) above normal levels. The risk factors for prevalent CVD were alcoholism, physical inactivity, extensive work hours and smoking. These data reinforce the importance of the implementation of preventive actions to be adopted by multiprofessional health teams in the city of Jataí, since the life habits practiced by the participants contribute to the increase of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
