Abstract:

Estimating average blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension and associated factors is fundamental for monitoring health and planning actions to combat NCDs in indigenous peoples in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study that investigated average blood pressure levels and prevalence of arterial hypertension in 4680 indigenous women (18-49 years old) using datathe 1st Na-tional Survey of Health and Nutrition of Indigenous Peoples (2008-2009) and associated factors, for example through Gamma regression and multilevel logistics. The prevalence of hypertension was 10.7%, varying across macro-regions: North (4.0%), Northeast (10.7%), Central-West (16.9%) and South/Southeast (17.5%). Women who lived in villages without domestic waste collection and in households without stable income were more likely to have HÁ. Increasing BMI and age were posi-tively associated with the chances of developing high blood pressure. In the model for PAD, unlike education, the variables stable household income, BMI and age were positively associated. In the model for PAS, there was a negative association with Education, in the medium and high strata of the household goods index and in households without stable income, and a positive association with Housing Indicator, BMI and Age.
