Abstract:

Objective: To compare the level of physical activity and medication expenditures of hypertensive patients treated in different types of primary health care in the city of Presidente Prudente. Methodology: People of both sexes participated, aged ≥ 40 years, registered in 3 health different approaches: Primary Care, Primary Care+ e Primary Care+PE. Data on physical activity, illness and medication expenditures was obtained by telephone interview and consultation of the electronic medical record. The chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis and linear regression were used. The statistical significance adopted was 5%. Results: A total of 659 people were evaluated, with a mean age of 62 years. It was observed that between the modalities, the presence of diseases was higher in patients attended by the Primary Care+PE. Analyzing physical activity and medication expenses, a negative relationship can be observed in the Primary Care+ (r=-0.149 CI=-0.277 to -0.016) and Primary Care+PE (r=-0.210 CI=-0.334 to -0.079), after adjusting for gender, age, body mass index and sum of diseases, only the Primary Care+PE modality remained significant. Conclusion: The Primary Care+PE was the only modality to present lower expenses with medication for more physically active patients, even after adjusting for confounding variables.
