| Resumo: | Objective: To determine the prevalence and sociodemographic profile of individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) and systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), registered in the Primary Healthcare Information System (Sistema de Informação da Atenção Básica - SIAB) in the city of Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul, in 2012. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive exploratory study, with a quantitative approach, used secondary data retrieved from the SIAB, regarding 757 individuals. Data was processed and analyzed with SPSS software version 20.0. Results: In the sample of 757 subjects, a mean age of 40.87 ± 16.15 years was obtained, with 50.2% (380) male and 49.8% (377) female. Similarly, 97% (734) are literate. The study found a DM frequency of only 3.1% (1,131) in the total population, and of 4.5% (34) in the selected sample, and a prevalence of hypertension of 15% (5,849) and 17.3% (131), respectively. There was a positive, weak but significant, correlation between SAH, DM and age (p=0.000). Conclusion: The data obtained indicates a low prevalence of DM and SAH in individuals registered in SIAB in a countryside city of Rio Grande do Sul. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p295 |
