Conhecimento dos fatores de risco modificáveis para doença cardiovascular entre mulheres e seus fatores associados: um estudo de base populacional
Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento
dos fatores de risco modificáveis para
a doença cardiovascular e sua distribuição em
termos demográficos, socioeconômicos, comportamentais
e biológicos entre mulheres residentes
em Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Foi um
estudo transversal de base populacional, com a inclusão
de mulheres com idade igual ou superior a
18 anos. Foram realizadas análise descritiva, bivariada
e multivariável pela Regressão de Poisson.
O desfecho foi definido como conhecer três ou mais
dos sete fatores de risco pesquisados (percentil 75).
De 1.593 entrevistadas, 33,0% conheciam três ou
mais fatores. Foram associados de forma independente
com maior probabilidade de conhecimento:
a faixa etária de 25 a 44 anos, cor da pele não
branca, ensino médio completo, maior renda e ser
portadora da doença cardiovascular. Mulheres sedentárias
apresentaram menor probabilidade de
conhecimento. Os achados indicam a necessidade
de ações educativas para melhorar a compreensão
e o conhecimento dos fatores associados à doença
cardiovascular, particularmente entre as mulheres
mais pobres e menos escolarizadas.
The scope of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and its distribution in terms of demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral and biological factors among women living in the State of Rio Grande. It was a cross-sectional population-based study, with the inclusion of women aged 18 years and over. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariable Poisson Regression analysis were performed. The outcome was defined as knowing three or more of the seven risk factors studied (75th percentile). Of the 1,593 respondents, 33% knew three or more factors. The outcome was independently associated with increased likelihood of knowledge among subjects in the 25-44 years old age group, non-white skin color, complete secondary education, higher income and having cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, sedentary women were less likely to have such knowledge. These findings indicate the need for educational activities for enhancing comprehension and knowledge of the factors associated with cardiovascular disease among women, particularly among the poorest and less educated.
