P2-245 Prevalence of hypertension in Brazil over the past 3 decades
Introduction Hypertension has become a major public health concern in developing countries. We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis of population-based studies in order to estimate the prevalence of hypertension among the Brazilian adult population. Methods Published cross-sectional and cohort studies conducted from 1980 to 2010 were independently identified by two reviewers, without language restriction, in the PubMed, Embase, LILACS…
P1-505 Current diet vs dash diet assessed by food frequency questionnaire using food groups
Introduction Dietary guidelines for hypertensive patients require methods able to identify food patterns and monitoring adherence, which could be based on a simplified Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) for food groups. Objective To develop a FFQ for food groups in order to easily recommend the DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) diet for hypertensive patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among adults, aged 20 to 69 yea…
P2-356 Independent predictors of metabolic syndrome in HIV-infected patients
Introduction Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is associated with development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. However, a few studies have assessed its prevalence and risk factors among HIV patients from developing countries. Objective To identify independent risk factors for metabolic syndrome by the criteria of the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) among men and wo…
P2-89 Quality of life is associated with accumulated risk factors for cardiovascular disease
Introduction Health-related quality of life (QoL) is largely affected by cardiovascular disease, but it not known the effect of accumulated risk factors. Objective To evaluate the association between cardiovascular risk factors and health-related QoL in a population-based sampling from southern Brazil. Methods This population-based cross-sectional study included 1858 adults, aged 18–90 years. Standardised interviews and measurements detected obes…
P2-88 Marital status is a risk factor for overweight and obesity, independently of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics
Introduction Marital status has been associated with lower quality of life and chronic conditions. Objective To evaluate the independent association of marital status with overweight and obesity in a population-based sample from southern Brazil. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a population-based sampling of 1858 adults aged 18–90 years. Participants were interviewed at home, weight and height were measured to calculate body mass …
SP4-37 Metabolic syndrome prevalence and population attributable risk among HIV/Aids patients
Background Metabolic syndrome comprises a set of aggregated risk factors, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and changes in the abnormality criteria account for differences in prevalence rates and in the population attributable risk. Objectives Verify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to the NCEP-ATPIII, IDF and the AHA/NHLBI, and the impact of each component on the diagnostic of metabolic…
P2-401 Effect of the age, gender and day of the week on ultra-processed food consumption
Introduction The consumption of the ultra-processed food items has emerged as a concern in public health. Objective To assess the effect of gender, age and day of the week on consumption of ultra-processed food items among adolescents and adults from southern Brazil. Methods A cross-sectional study investigated a population-based sample of 234 individuals, aged 11–90 years. Dietary data was obtained by 24-h recall. The food items were aggregated …
SP2-9 Diagnostic criteria of lipodystrophy in HIV-infected patients
Introduction The prevalence of lipodystrophy ranges from 2 to 84% and the range of findings stems from differences between the populations studied and lack of standardised diagnostic criteria. The diagnosis of lipodystrophy is based on changes in body fat distribution with or without medical confirmation, objective measures of circumferences and skin folds or quantification of adiposity by dual emission x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) CT scan or MRI.…
SP3-93 Effect of the day of the week on dietary consumption assessed by food frequency questionnaire
Introduction The effect of the day of the week on nutrient intake on the overall consumption, collected by short reports, was notorious. However, it is still unknown for macronutrient intake collected by the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Objective To evaluate the effect of data collect during the beginning and end of the week on macronutrient intake in data from FFQ applied in adolescents from southern Brazil. Methods A cross-sectional stud…
The role of conceptual frameworks in epidemiological analysis
BACKGROUND: This paper discusses appropriate strategies for multivariate data analysis in epidemiological studies. METHODS: In studies where determinants of disease are sought, it is suggested that the complex hierarchical inter-relationships between these determinants are best managed through the use of conceptual frameworks. Failure to take these aspects into consideration is common in the epidemiological literature and leads to underestimation…
