Resumo: |
Prehypertension is a pressure range above that considered ideal corresponding systolic blood pressure between 120-139 mmHg and / or diastolic between 80-89mmHg, it is associated with increased cardiovascular events and is intermediate path to hypertension. It is still controversial whether hypertensive patients have decreased quality of life (QOL) compared with normotensive. In the literature, there are few studies evaluating QOL among prehypertensive and comparing the three groups. The study of QOL is of great interest because it is an indicator for evaluation of effectiveness, efficiency and impact of diseases.. OBJECTIVES: To assess QOL pre-hypertensive patients, comparing it with that of normotensive and hypertensive individuals.METHODS: cross-sectional study, patients were raised through the active search for social action events and task forces on health between June 2013 and June 2014. We included those aged 18 to 70 years and considered pre-hypertensive those with PA between 120-139 mmHg systolic and / or diastolic 80-89 mmHg between normotensive BP <120 / 80mmHg and hypertensive PA≥ 140/90 and / or previously diagnosed. Quality of life was assessed using the SF-36. RESULTS: A total of 141 individuals, 38% (n = 53) normotensive, 33% (n = 47) pre-hypertensive and 29% (n = 41) hypertensive. Regarding QOL, the average functional capacity of normotensive (84.43) and pre-hypertensive (84.36) was superior to the hypertensive (73.41%) (p = 0.05). The physical aspect of the normotensive (82.45) was higher than that of hypertensive (63.41) (p = 0.034), there was no difference in physical appearance of the pre-hypertensive to comparer with the other groups. By comparing the other domains of QOL with blood pressure levels showed no statistical difference. Overall, the three groups obtained domain scores above the average of 50. Lower quality of life of pre-hypertensive not shown to be compromised in this study. SAH committed QOL as the physical aspect and the functional capacity of individuals. |
