Abstract

The basic health unit Lagoa dos Mandarins located on the outskirts of the of Divinópolis - MG has an enrolled population of about 1,900 people, consisting mostly of older adults, according to data provided by Information System of Basic attention. One of the main health problems found was deficient monitoring of hypertensive. In this regard one needs to perform primarily a registration of all affected individuals. The Systemic Hypertension is defined as a morbidity when blood pressure (BP) reaches levels above 140 /90 mmHg. Cardiovascular complications due to it are the main causes of death in Brazil. It is the easiest and correctable risk factor identified for reduction of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), peripheral arterial disease (PAD) among other diseases. The goal is to classify enrolled population in risk groups aiming at a better control and monitoring of the treatment of hypertension population. Population over 40 years will be asked to be evaluated and thus be classified according to the cardiovascular risk by Framingham score. The additional risk factors for hypertension relate to age of men over 55 and women over 65; smoking, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. With the collection of data on this issue, we are creating a HIPERDIA, in order to give preference in taking care of these users. This project will mainly contribute to a better quality of life for the population for which the UBS Lagoa dos Mandarins is responsible, working in injury prevention, recovery and health promotion.
