MOTTA, Ana Carolina Souto Valente; BOUSQUET-SANTOS, Kelb; MOTOKI, Isabela Harumi Lopes e ANDRADE, Joanlise Marco De Leon. Prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health in the Brazilian adult population - National Health Survey 2019. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.1, e2022669. Epub 24-Mar-2023.

Objective:
to analyze the prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) in the Brazilian adult population based on the 2019 National Health Survey.
Methods:
this was a population-based cross-sectional study (n = 77,494); prevalence and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) of ideal CVH (seven metrics achieved simultaneously) and by individual metrics (four behavioral and three biological metrics), as defined by the American Heart Association, were estimated.
Results:
only 0.5% (95%CI 0.4;0.6) of the study population presented ideal CVH, with higher prevalence among those with higher level of education (1.3%; 95%CI 0.9;1.6) and residents in urban areas (0.6%; 95%CI 0.5;0.7); the prevalence of behavioral and biological metrics was 0.7% (95%CI 0.6;0.8) and 63.3% (95%CI 62.7;63.9) respectively.
Conclusion:
the prevalence of ideal CVH was very low, highlighting the need for public policies aimed at promotion, surveillance and CVH care in the Brazilian adult population.
