Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world. Even tough, a large proportion of hypertensive patients does not have significant knowledge about the disease or even does not have a diagnosis of it. In this context, the Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas, together with the Projeto de Assistência Farmacêutica Estudantil (PAFE), hold the Semana de Assistência Farmacêutica Estudantil (SAFE) with the purpose of informing and clarifying the population's doubts regarding health issues, including SAH. The purpose of this research was to analyze the data obtained in the SAH stand of the 18th SAFE, as risk factors and knowledge of the disease, and connect them to the diagnosis and blood pressure (BP) levels presented by the visitors at the event. The present research was performed with the information of 616 visitors, which were divided into 4 groups: visitors who were previously diagnosed with SAH and had high blood pressure levels at the moment of measurement (Hypertensive - High BP), hypertensive visitors who had controlled blood pressure (Hypertensive - Normal BP), visitors who were never diagnosed with SAH and had high blood pressure at the moment of measurement (Normotensive - High BP) and normotensive patients who had normal blood pressure (Normotensive - Normal BP). The researched population presented a predominance of 41 years or older (84%), and the people age ≥ 61 years corresponded to 53% of the visitors. There was also a predominance of females, corresponding to 58% of the individuals analyzed. The results obtained indicate that extension events such as SAFE may be the target of very interesting data collections for scientific research or didactic use. Regarding the variables that are directly... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
