Considerando o Diabetes mellitus (DM)
como um relevante problema de saúde no Brasil e
a importância das estimativas de prevalência para
planejamento e estratégias em saúde pública, propôs-
se este trabalho com o objetivo de estimar a
razão de prevalências do DM nos diferentes estados
brasileiros nos períodos de 2002 a 2004 e 2005
a 2007. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, baseado em
dados da população brasileira com diagnóstico de
DM cadastrada no Sistema de Informação da Atenção
Básica (SIAB) junto ao Ministério da Saúde.
As taxas de prevalência foram calculadas para o
período de 2002 a 2004 e para 2005 a 2007, e posteriormente
estimou-se a Razão de Prevalências
(R) por ponto e por intervalo de 95% de confiança
(IC95%). Observou-se alta prevalência de DM
nos estados brasileiros com aumento significativo
(R>1; IC95%>1) entre os períodos em todos os
estados brasileiros, com destaque para o Distrito
Federal (R=1,9800; IC95%=1,9724–1,9876) e o
estado do Maranhão (R=1,5217; IC95%=1,5198–
1,5235). Pode-se concluir que houve aumento significativo
na prevalência de DM no Brasil de 2002
a 2007, sinalizando para a necessidade de formulação
de estratégias de prevenção e controle da
doença.
Abstract: Awareness of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as a relevant health problem in Brazil and realizing the importance of estimates of prevalence for public health planning and strategies, gave rise to this work seeking to estimate the reason for the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in different Brazilian states in the periods from 2002 to 2004 and 2005 to 2007. It involves a descriptive study based on Brazilian population data with a diagnosis of DM recorded in the Basic Care Information System (SIAB) of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The prevalence rates were calculated for the periods from 2002 to 2004 and 2005 to 2007 and the Prevalence Ratios were then estimated per location and per reliability interval of 95% (RI95%). A high prevalence of DM was observed in Brazilian states with a significant increase (R>1; RI95%>1) for the periods in all Brazilian states, especially the Federal District (R=1.9800; RI95%=1.9724–1.9876) and the state of Maranhão (R=1.5217; RI95%=1.5198–1.5235). The conclusion drawn was that there was a significant increase in the prevalence of DM in Brazil between 2002 and 2007, highlighting the need for the formulation of strategies for prevention and control of the disease.
