Doenças crônicas não transmissíveis: um desafio para saúde indígena

Abstract

In Brazil, CNCDs represent the main burden of disease and deaths in the population, considered an epidemic today, chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) constitute a serious public health problem, both in rich countries and in middle and low income countries. Faced with this reality, despite the importance of the individual approach, the need for a collective approach is increasingly proven to obtain more consistent and lasting results from the factors that lead to arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity. This project proposes some interventions focused on coping with CNCDs in Aldeia Apoema, municipality of Traipú, AL. In order to carry out the study, an analysis was carried out on SIASI and SISVAN WEB, where 64 adults between men and women were surveyed in the age group of 25 to 59 years, with hypertension, diabetes and obesity being evaluated in these patients. As a result, three intervention measures were proposed based on the three most evident critical nodes.
