Abstract:

The aim of this paper was to analyze the impact of Health Gym Program (HGP) on hypertension mortality rate in Pernambuco state, Brazil. This public policy impact analysis had used a quasi-experimental approach which consists on the application of the Propensity Score Matching on the years 2010 and 2017. Socioeconomics, demographics and epidemiological data of 89 municipalities that implemented HGP (treated) and 54 that did not (controls) were collectedBrazilian Health Data Department, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and other databases. The impact of HGP on hypertension mortality rate was esteemed through a logit model using the Kernel algorithm. Treated municipalities had a decrease of 12.8% on global hypertension mortality rate, 12.5% in non-white people and 13.1% in those over 80 years. The balancing test attests to the robustness of the estimated model to explain the impact of the program on mortality due to hypertension. The implementation of the program proved to be effective in decreasing the mortality rate in the treated municipalities, indicating that it seems to be contributing to control the progress of chronic non-communicable diseases.
