Projeto saúde de encontro: melhorando os hábitos de vida e controle da hipertensão arterial na Estratégia da saúde de Saúde da Família Hermogenes de Godoy

Abstract

Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a chronic disease characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure and is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The territory covered by the Hermogenes de Godoy Family Health Strategy (ESF) comprises a population composed primarily of elderly individuals, the majority of whom are hypertensive. The situational diagnosis in the ESF was performed using the Rapid Estimate method, with arterial hypertension identified as the main problem in the territory. After selecting the topic, scientific articles published by the American Heart Association, the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, and other articles available in databases such as SciELO and PubMed were used. The proposal was to develop an action plan, systematizing information gathered during health team meetings, to intervene and act more effectively in the control of systemic arterial hypertension. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impacts of lifestyle habits on the elderly population of the municipality of Cabreúva, exploring the relationship between lifestyle and hypertension control. Through the project entitled "Health Meeting," it highlights the importance of public policies aimed at promoting health and preventing chronic noncommunicable diseases, implementing community physical activity and nutritional education programs, and offering regular monitoring for blood pressure control, reducing the morbidity and mortality that can be caused by the disease.
