Abstract

MALTA, Deborah Carvalho et al. Monitoring the goals of the plans for coping with Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases: results of the National Health Survey, Brazil, 2013 and 2019. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.esp1, e2021364.  Epub June 22, 2022. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/ss2237-9622202200008.especial.

Objective:

To monitor the achievement of the action plans for the prevention and control of Non-Communicable Diseases agreed-upon targets.

Methods:

Cross-sectional study, with data from the 2013 and 2019 National Health Survey. The following targets, up to 2025, were evaluated: physical inactivity, alcohol consumption, salt/sodium, tobacco use, high blood pressure, diabetes, overweight, obesity, cervical cytology testing, and drug therapy and counseling. To check whether the targets were achieved, the prevalence ratio was calculated (PR).

Results:

60,202 individuals were assessed in 2013, and 88,531 in 2019. The targets for physical inactivity (PR = 0.88; 95%CI 0.86;0.90) and cervical cytology coverage (79.4%; 95%CI 78.3;80.3) were achieved. Tobacco use was reduced, albeit below the target. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, overweight, obesity and alcohol consumption increased, and the targets will not be attained.

Conclusion:

Two indicators reached the agreed targets, however it is necessary to advance in actions and policies to meet the others.
