Previous issue date: 2008-12-22 / This article studies elderly patients with hypertension and with diabetes mellitus. It adopted methodology of research that consisted of the exam of the medical records of patients attended at the Integrated Center of Diabetes and of Hypertension (CIDH) in order to identify the frequency of hypertension (H) and diabetes mellitus (DM), listing associated comorbidities and the control of blood pressure and glycaemic levels of these patients, and, also, in order to delineate the socio-demographic profile of them. It was a cross descriptive study that collected data from 400 patients with H, DM and H/DM, attended in the ICDH, considering 8528 records, in the period of July 2006 to July 2008, in Fortaleza-Ceará. It was obtained the participation of 153 (38.3%) men and 247 (61.8%) women whose age varied from 60 to 103 years, in an average of 72.39 years (SD ± 7, 385). Among the patients, 13.3% were bearers of H, 11.5% of DM and the high value of 75.3% of H and DM concomitantly. As associated co-morbidities, the research showed: 25.7% cases of diabetic retinopathy; 15.7% diabetic nephropathy; 24.2% neuropathy; 16% heart disease; 5.2% Hypothyroidism; and 1.7% Hyperthyroidism. The Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) was reported in 10.5% of patients and the diabetic foot in 32% of them. It was found 39.5% patients with overweight. The sedentary lifestyle was presented in 71.7% of the cases; smoking in 18.2% of them and 21.2% of them reported alcohol consumption. It was identified that most part of men were married (75.8%) compared to women (56.3%), while the widow prevailed among women (25.5%) versus 7.2% in men. The patients were diagnosed, mostly, by a routine examination (58.8%), followed by treatment of infections (25%) and hospitalization (13.5%) and 2.8% by campaigns. In Fortaleza, live 80.2% of the elderly patients and 19.8% lives in the metropolitan area. About the informal support, 169 (42.2%) of the elderly patients were attended in the ICDH in the company of their children, 97 (24.2%) of the husband (or wife) and 40 (10%) of friends and neighbors, while 94 (23.5%) were unaccompanied. The principal data about their occupation were that they are retirees or pensioners (31.8%), household (20.75%), home-owners (14.5%) and traders (6.8%). The patients live with the disease(s) in an average of 15.3 years and 51.3% of them took more than four types of medicines. About the metabolic control, 56.2% had low HDL and 22% and 35.1% high LDL and triglycerides, respectively. It was concluded that the high occurrence of elderly patients with H and DM concomitantly justifies more attention by the leaders of the Health System to plan actions with greater accuracy for early detection, prevention and control for these two diseases, in order to reduce their consequences and complications, especially in the case of this specific group. / Foi objetivo deste estudo, avaliar os prontuários dos pacientes atendidos no Centro Integrado de Diabetes e Hipertensão - CIDH com a finalidade de identificar a frequência de Hipertensão (HA) e Diabetes Mellitus (DM), relacionando co-morbidades associadas, controle da pressão arterial e níveis de glicêmicos desses pacientes, assim como traçar o perfil sócio-demográfico deles. Tratou-se de estudo descritivo e observacional, em que se coletaram dados de 400 pacientes com HA, DM e HA/DM, atendidos no CIDH, a partir de 8528 prontuários, no período de julho de 2006 a julho de 2008, em Fortaleza-Ceará. Obteve-se, como resultado, a participação de 153 (38,3%) homens e 247 (61,8%) mulheres cuja idade variou de 60 a 103 anos, média de 72.39 anos (DP ± 7.385). Dentre os pacientes, 53 (13,3%) eram portadores de HA, 46 (11,5%) de DM e 301 (75,3%), acometidos de HA e DM concomitantemente. Quanto às co-morbidades associadas, os dados evidenciaram 103 (25,7%) dos casos de retinopatia, 63 (14,8%) de nefropatia diabética, 97 (24,8%) de neuropatia, 64 (16%) de cardiopatias, 21 (5,2%) de hipoteriodismo e 07 (1,7%) hipertireodismo. Os Acidentes Vasculares Cerebrais - AVCs foram notificados em 42 (10,5%) e o pé diabético em 128 (32%) dos pacientes. Detectou-se sobrepeso em 157 (39,5%) dos pacientes. O sedentarismo apresentou-se em 287 (71,7%) dos pacientes; o tabagismo em 73 (18,2%), enquanto 85 (21,2%) dos pacientes registraram etilismo. Identificou-se que os homens, quanto ao estado civil, na sua maioria, eram casados 116 (75,8) em relação às mulheres 139 (56,3%), enquanto a viuvez predominou entre mulheres 63 (25,5%) versus homens 11 (7,2%). Os pacientes foram diagnosticados, mais frequentemente, por exame de rotina 253 (58,8%), seguido por tratamento de infecções 100 (25%), internamento hospitalar 54 (13,5%) e 11 (2,8%) por ocasião de campanhas com foco nas patologias HA e DM. Em Fortaleza, residem 321 (80,2%) dos idosos, e 79 (19,8%) no interior e região metropolitana. Relativo ao apoio informal, 169 (42,2%) idosos frequentavam o CIDH na companhia de filhos; 97 (24,2%) do cônjuge e 40 (10%) dos amigos e vizinhos, enquanto 94 (23,5%) iam desacompanhados. Os maiores dados relativos à ocupação foram de aposentados ou pensionistas 127 (31,8%), domésticas 83 (20,75%), donas de casa 58 (14,5%) e comerciantes 27 (6,8%). Os pacientes convivem em média de 15,3 anos com a(s) doença(s) estudadas e 205 (51,3%) deles tomam mais de quatro tipos de medicamentos. Relativo ao conteúdo metabólico, 225 (56,2%) apresenta um baixo nível de HDL, 88 (22%) e 154 (35,1%) altas taxas de LDL e triglicérides respectivamente. Pode-se concluir que a grande ocorrência de pacientes idosos com HA e MD, concomitantemente, justifica maior atenção por parte dos dirigentes do sistema de saúde em planejar, com maior rigor, ações conjuntas de detecção precoce, prevenção e controle para essas duas patologias no sentido de diminuir seus agravamentos e complicações neste publico especifico.
