0105/2023 - Fortalecimento das ações de cuidado às pessoas com obesidade no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19: o caso do Brasil Strengthening care actions for people with obesity in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic: the case of Brazil
Este estudo ecológico descritivo objetivou analisar o papel indutor de um incentivo financeiro federal repassado aos municípios brasileiros em 2020, em meio à pandemia de Covid-19, no aumento do número de atendimentos individuais para a condição de obesidade na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Utilizaram-se dados secundários, obtidos no Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica e no Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (SISVAN). Em 2021, 74,8% dos 5.504 municípios que receberam o incentivo financeiro apresentaram aumento no número de atendimentos individuais para a condição avaliada como obesidade na APS, em relação a 2020. O número de pessoas identificadas com obesidade e o número de atendimentos individuais para esta condição foram maiores em 2021 do que nos demais anos analisados (2017 a 2020). Na comparação de 2021 com 2020 (ano de recebimento do incentivo financeiro), observou-se que o percentual de aumento de atendimentos individuais foi superior ao percentual de aumento de pessoas com obesidade registradas no SISVAN (77,6% vs. 39,1%). Em conclusão, incentivos financeiros federais, canalizados ao fortalecimento do cuidado às pessoas com obesidade no âmbito da APS, figuram-se como importantes mecanismos de indução de ações em nível local.

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.
