Abstract:

The objective was to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with prehypertension and hypertension among health workers who work in highly complex sectors for critical and chronic patients. An epidemiological, cross-sectional study was carried out with 490 health workers in the macroregional region of Northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. The dependent variable blood pressure was categorized as normal, pre-hypertension and hypertension. For multiple analysis, Multinomial Logistic Regression was used. The prevalence of arterial hypertension was 21.8% and that of prehypertension was 25.9%. The chances of developing arterial hypertension and pre-hypertension were higher in male professionals, aged ≥ 40 years, in workers with a publicly employed position and in those who were obese or overweight. The use of continuous medication and night shift work were associated with hypertension and prehypertension, respectively. The prevalence of arterial hypertension in the group of workers was lower than that of the Brazilian population. Studies are needed with workers in this group and investments in preventive measures that encourage a change to a healthy lifestyle.
