Projeto de intervenção para trabalhar a síndrome metabólica na população residente na área de abrangência da unidade básica de saúde Benedito Zeferino do município de Camanducaia - Minas Gerais: uma abordagem não medicamentosa

Abstract

At the Ponte Nova Basic Health Unit, located in Camanducaia, Minas Gerais, a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its correlated diseases was observed after a situational diagnosis. People with the disease are unaware of the importance and impact that the non-drug approach to metabolic syndrome has on their prognosis. Metabolic syndrome is an important public health problem currently, as it causes an increase in population morbidity and mortality and an increase in public spending on tertiary and quaternary prevention. This work aims to develop an intervention plan to encourage the adoption of non-pharmacological measures in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome and associated comorbidities. A bibliographic search was made in the databases of the Virtual Health Library for the theoretical basis of the Intervention Plan. The plan was developed following the steps of strategic situational planning. It is expected that the proposed actions will reduce the metabolic syndrome in patients with chronic non-communicable diseases.
