Abstract(s)
A Diabetes Mellitus é uma grande ameaça para a saúde pública em todo o
mundo, continuando a aumentar em prevalência e significado. As estimativas
da sua prevalência, conhecimento e controlo são essenciais para monitorizar
as suas tendências de forma efetiva. Neste contexto, foi realizado o primeiro
Inquérito Nacional de Saúde com Exame Físico (INSEF) à população residente
em Portugal, com idade compreendida entre os 25 e os 74 anos, em 2015. O
INSEF consistiu num estudo transversal de prevalência, que incluía a medição
do nível de HbA1c no sangue, um exame físico e uma entrevista geral de saúde.
A prevalência geral de diabetes foi estimada em 9,9% (IC95%: 8,4; 11,5),
sendo mais elevada nos homens do que nas mulheres (12,1% vs 7,8%). A diabetes
era mais prevalente entre os indivíduos que apresentavam baixa escolaridade
e sem atividade profissional. A maioria dos indivíduos diabéticos estava
ciente de sua condição (87,1%) e encontrava-se a tomar medicação antidiabética
(79,7%). Destes, 63,2% apresentaram níveis de HbA1c inferiores a 7,0%.
A prevalência de diabetes permanece mais elevada do que as estimativas globais
e europeias, embora haja maior conscientização e melhor controlo dos
objetivos clínicos relacionados com esta doença crónica.
Diabetes Mellitus is a major public health threat around the world, continuing to increase both in prevalence and significance. Estimates of its prevalence, knowledge and control are essential to monitor its trends ef fectively. In this contex t, the first National Health Examination Sur vey (INSEF) was per formed on the resident population in Por tugal aged between 25 and 74 years old, in 2015. The INSEF consisted of a crosssectional prevalence study, which included the measurement of the HbA1c level in the blood, a physical examination and a general health inter view. The overall prevalence of diabetes was estimated at 9.9% (95% CI: 8.4, 11.5), being higher in men than in women (12.1% vs 7.8%). Diabetes was more prevalent among individuals with low education level and without professional activit y. The majorit y of diabetic individuals were aware of their condition (87.1%) and were taking antidiabetic medication (79.7%). Of these, 63.2% had HbA1c levels lower than 7.0%. The prevalence of diabetes in Por tugal remains higher than the global and European estimates, although there is greater awareness and bet ter control of the clinical objectives related to this chronic disease.
