Abstract:

This descriptive ecological study aimed to analyze the inducing role of a federal financial incentive passed on to Brazilian municipalities in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, in the increase of the number of individual consultations for the condition of obesity in Primary Health Care (PHC). Secondary data obtainedthe Health Information System for Primary Care andthe Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (SISVAN) were used. In 2021, of the 5,504 municipalities that received the financial incentive, 74.8% showed an increase in the number of individual obesity consultations in PHC, compared to 2020. The number of people identified with obesity and the number of individual visits for this condition were higher in 2021 than in the other years analyzed (2017 to 2021). Comparing 2021 with 2020 (year of receipt of the financial incentive), it was observed that the percentage of increase in the number of individual consultations for the condition of obesity was higher than the increase in the number of people identified with obesity in the SISVAN (77.6 % vs. 39.1%). In conclusion, federal financial incentives for municipalities, channeled to strengthening care for people with obesity within the scope of PHC, are important mechanisms for inducing actions at the local level.
