Abstract:

This article discusses the influence of environmental conditions in the prevalence of systemic hypertension in two riverine communities of Sustainable Development Reserve of Tupé, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, through ecological study of multiple groups and contextual analysis carried out with the locals. To identify the environmental etiology describing the risk of disease development, the study compares demographics, incidence rates and common daily practices in communities, collected in the field of research, between the years 2012 and 2014, with values provided by IBGE, originallyNational Health Research, 2013. The results suggest that social and environmental determinants, such as precariousness of general living conditions, work and access to protective health mechanisms by investigated communities, are relevant to explain the variability of hypertension incidence rates. Finalizes drawing attention to the need to consider the social and environmental vulnerability at the development of public health policies and the management of protected areas.
