Avaliação de Risco Cardiovascular e Síndrome Metabólica em usuários da atenção primária à saúde em zona rural do Município de Campo Grande, MS

Abstract

Cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome can be analyzed considering the probability of a users developing cardiovascular disease due to several factors that must be investigated so that they can be treated in terms of primary care. The literature points out that cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main causes of death in Brazil and are identified as health problems on the Brazilian List of Sensitive Conditions to Primary Care, as they are potentially preventable. In this sense, it should also be noted that cardiovascular risk stratification is an important tool for the organization of care and generates subsidies for the reorganization of actions offered in health services. That said, it should be noted that the Metabolic Syndrome emerged as a variable of interest because its presence is related to the increased risk of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Given this scenario, this study investigated cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome in users of health services in the city of Campo Grande - MS. The general objective of the study is to evaluate the cardiovascular risk and presence of metabolic syndrome in users attending the Manoel Cordeiro Family Health Unit, a rural population, in the municipality of Campo Grande. The specific objectives of this study were to identify risk factors in this population and measure cardiovascular risk and the presence of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, the research is descriptive with a quantitative approach. The method used an objective questionnaire with sociodemographic questions, chronic condition drug therapy, anthropometric measurements, results of biochemical tests, food consumption, Framingham score and physical activity habits. The sample size was 130 respondents with a margin of error of 0.5 and a confidence interval of 95%. The analysis of tabulated data was performed using the R Studio program. It is possible to conclude that the cardiovascular risk through the application of the Framigham score is not an interesting instrument for this population, as the sample did not show variability. In the analysis of cardiovascular risk through the application of the Framigham score, it was observed that the scale is complex to use in PHC, as it is not an instrument that presents the result instantly, and the attempt to find another measure that would simplify it did not was possible, as the sample did not show variability in the users' profile. The results showed that neck circumference can be an important health indicator, as it is a screening tool capable of identifying individuals diagnosed with MS. The ease of application and low cost can enable its use in Primary Health Care services.
