Abstract Serra Pelada is a village in the Amazon region of Brazil where most inhabitants are former gold miners. Of 235 individuals evaluated, 219 were males (93.19%), 16 females (6.80%), and mean age was 52.07 years (standard deviation = 11.57). Most heavy drinkers (62.44%) smokers (70.30%), 85.53% had previously suffered from malaria. Reported symptoms included fatigue (30.60%), irritability (35.62%), excitability (14.16%), insomnia (34.48%), memory loss (61.80%), visual field constriction...
Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular disease globally. Roughly one-third of adult population has hypertension. However, people diagnosed with hypertension do not benefit from blood pressure control pharmacologic interventions: they are overdiagnosed and overtreated might experience negative psychosocial consequences being labelled. These relevant outcomes that need to be assessed validly measured identify all benefits harms related interventions designed prevent...
Mild hypertension is a very common asymptomatic condition present in people at low cardiovascular risk. These represent the greatest amount of those labelled with hypertension. Best available evidence does not support pharmacologic treatment for mild order to reduce mortality. Moreover, overdetection also taking place supported by public awareness campaigns, screening programmes, easy access testing and poor clinical practice, enhancing overdiagnosis potential. Evidence suggests that this...
<h3></h3> Disease definitions and treatment thresholds are often based on dichotomisation of continuous variables. Examples these dilemmas the definition hypertension continuum pathologies in polyps colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Continuous variables a clinical dilemma since they make it difficult to determine when diagnose intervene. Dichotomisation requires per threshold which results an epidemiological dilemma: if is set too low, many people overdiagnosed overtreated, whereas high,...
Introduction: Mild hypertension is a common asymptomatic condition present in people at low risk of future cardiovascular events. These represent approximately two-thirds those diagnosed with hypertension. The best available evidence does not support pharmacological treatment for mild to reduce mortality. Additionally, overdetection also occurs, and this practice supported by public awareness campaigns, screening, easy access testing, poor clinical practice, enhancing the overdiagnosis...
Abstract Background A previous qualitative assessment of the psychosocial consequences labelling hypertension describes diagnosis as a event with potential unintended negative long-term (labelling effects). Until now, benefits diagnosing have been far more reported than harms. To obtain net result preventive interventions for cardiovascular disease, such and treating mild hypertension, assessing harms in most comprehensive way possible is necessary, including labelling. When measuring...
