Abstract(s)
[PT] As doenças cardiovasculares são umas das principais causas de morbilidade
e mortalidade a nível mundial, sendo um importante problema
de saúde pública. A diabetes mellitus é um fator de risco cardiovascular
e a sua incidência tem vindo a aumentar mundialmente. No estudo
e_COR avaliou-se a prevalência, tratamento e controlo da diabetes
numa amostra da população portuguesa. Participaram 1688 indivíduos,
distribuídos pelas 5 regiões continentais. Foram determinados os
níveis de glicose e de HbA1c. A prevalência da diabetes na população
estudada foi de 8,9%, salientando-se que esta prevalência foi baseada
somente nos valores de glicose em jejum. Verificou-se que os níveis
de glicose aumentam com a idade, sendo significativamente superiores
no sexo masculino, e que os valores de HbA1c apresentam um
comportamento similar. Dos indivíduos com diabetes, 82% estavam
medicados farmacologicamente, mas apenas 60,7% estavam controlados.
A identificação e o conhecimento do controlo dos fatores de risco
é uma medida fundamental para as autoridades de saúde implementarem
medidas de promoção de saúde adequadas. As baixas taxas de
controlo dos fatores de risco, como é o caso da diabetes, são um problema
sério de saúde pública que precisa de intervenção através de
políticas de saúde locais e nacionais.
[EN] Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and a major public health problem. Diabetes mellitus is a cardiovascular risk factor and its incidence is increasing worldwide. The e_COR study evaluated the prevalence, treatment and control of diabetes in a sample of the Portuguese population. A total of 1688 individuals, distributed among the five continental regions, participated in this study. Levels of glucose and HbA1c were determined. The prevalence of diabetes in this population was 8.9%, but this prevalence was only based on glucose fasting values. It was found that glucose levels increase with age and is significantly higher in males, and that HbA1c values behave similarly. From the individuals with diabetes, 82% were treated pharmacologically, but only 60.7% were controlled. The identification and knowledge of the degree of management of risk factors is a key measure for the health authorities implement appropriate health promotion measures. The low control rates of risk factors such as diabetes, is a serious public health problem that needs intervention through local and national health policies.
