Resumo: | Objective: To investigate the prevalence of systemic hypertension among the elderly and verify the sociodemographic profile, risk factors and complications of elderly individuals identified with hypertension. Methods: Quantitative descriptive study, performed with 220 medical records of elderly patients in a Health Center in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, between 2011 and 2012. By applying a structured questionnaire containing sociodemographic and clinical variables, data was collected from the medical records and Hiperdia files. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and the chi-square test was applied. Results: The prevalence of hypertension in the elderly was 51.4% (n=113; IC95%). Of these, 63.7% (n=72) were female; 64.6% (n=73) were sedentary; 52.2% (n=59) were overweight; 53.1% (n=60) had abdominal obesity; 29.2% (n=33) had diabetes; 17.7% (n=20) had comorbidities and complications; 79.6% (n=90) were found with increased blood pressure in the first consultation, and 66.6% (n=60), in the last one. Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension was high among the elderly assessed, being higher in some subgroups: women, low level of education, and non-white. Among the most common risk factors, the sedentary lifestyle, overweight, and abdominal obesity stand out. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p303 |

Métodos: Estudio descriptivo y cuantitativo realizado en 220 historiales clínicos de mayores de un Centro de Salud de São Luíz-MA, Brasil, entre 2011 y 2012. Se recogieron datos de los historiales clínicos y fichas del Hiperdía a través de un formulario estructurado con variables sociodemograficas y clínicas. Se realizó el análisis estadístico descriptivo con el Statistical Package for the Social Sciences y la aplicación de la prueba de Chi-cuadrado. Resultados: Se encontró la prevalencia de hipertensión en el 51,4% (n=113; IC95%) de los mayores. De ellos, el 63,7% (n=72) eran del sexo femenino; el 64,6% (n=73) sedentarios; el 52,2% (n=59) tenían sobrepeso; el 53,1% (n=60) obesidad abdominal; el 29,2% (n=33) eran diabéticos; el 17,7% (n=20) presentaban comorbidades y complicaciones; el 79,6% (n=90) presentó la presión arterial elevada en la primera consulta; y el 66,6% (n=60) en la última. Conclusión: La HAS presento elevada prevalencia en los mayores investigados, siendo la presión arterial mayor en determinados grupos: mujeres, escolaridad baja, y mayores no blancos. De los factores de riesgo más comunes, se destacaron el sedentarismo, el sobrepeso y la obesidad abdominal. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p303Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência de hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) em idosos e verificar perfil sociodemográfico, fatores de risco e complicações dos idosos identificados com hipertensão. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, quantitativo, realizado com 220 prontuários de idosos em um Centro de Saúde de São Luís-MA, Brasil, entre 2011 e 2012.
