- Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the association between social determinants of health and trends in the prevalence of hypertension among patients of the Peruvian Ministry of Health 2007–2016. Methods: We conducted an ecological study with secondary data sources using health care and death records obtained from the Peruvian Ministry of Health, data from the Peruvian National Household Survey and data from the Regional Information System for Decision Making. We determined the standardised prevalence of hypertension at national and region level, conducted a geospatial exploratory analysis at region level, and applied generalised linear mixed models to evaluate the association between social determinants of health and the prevalence of HT, according to the domains suggested by Healthy People 2020. Results: The prevalence of hypertensive patients of the Peruvian Ministry of Health increased from 966.8/100 000 in 2007 to 1619.1/100 000 in 2016. The prevalence of hypertension rose by 17.7/100 000 per 1% increase of insurance coverage and by 2.2/100 000 per 1% increase in the number of hospitals. In contrast, it decreased by 12.3/100 000 per 1% increase of the poverty rate, by 9.8/100 000 per 1% increase of the proportion of people with native language, by 3.6/100 000 per 1% increase of GDP per capita and by 3/100 000 per 1% increase in the number of local health centres. Conclusions: The growing trend of HT prevalence in Peru is directly associated with insurance coverage andAbstract: Objective: To evaluate the association between social determinants of health and trends in the prevalence of hypertension among patients of the Peruvian Ministry of Health 2007–2016.

Conclusions: The growing trend of HT prevalence in Peru is directly associated with insurance coverage and number of hospitals, and inversely associated with poverty rate, proportion of people with native language, GDP per capita and number of local health centres. Abstract : Objectif: Evaluer l'association entre les déterminants sociaux de la santé et les tendances de la prévalence de l'hypertension chez les patients du Ministère de la Santé du Pérou 2007–2016. Méthodes: Nous avons mené une étude écologique avec des sources de données secondaires utilisant des données de santé et de décès obtenues du ministère péruvien de la santé, des données de l'enquête nationale sur les ménages péruviens et du système d'information régional pour la prise de décision. Nous avons déterminé la prévalence standardisée de l'hypertension (HT) aux niveaux national et régional, mené une analyse exploratoire géospatiale au niveau régional et appliqué des modèles mixtes linéaires généralisés pour évaluer l'association entre les déterminants sociaux de la santé et la prévalence de l'HT, selon les domaines suggérés par Healthy People 2020. Résultats: La prévalence des patients HT du Ministère de la Santé du Pérou est passée de 966, 8/100.000 en 2007 à 1.619, 1/100.000 en 2016. La prévalence de l'HT a augmenté de 17, 7/100.000 pour 1% d'augmentation de la couverture d'assurance et de 2, 2/100.000 pour 1% d'augmentation du nombre d'hôpitaux. En revanche, elle a diminué de 12, 3/100.000 pour 1% d'augmentation du taux de pauvreté, de 9, 8/100.000 pour 1% d'augmentation de la proportion de personnes de la langue locale, de 3, 6/1000.000 pour 1% d'augmentation du PIB par habitant et de 3/100.000 pour 1% d'augmentation du nombre de centres de santé locaux. Conclusions: La tendance croissante de la prévalence de l'HT au Pérou est directement liée à la couverture d'assurance et au nombre d'hôpitaux et inversement associée au taux de pauvreté, à la proportion de personnes de la langue locale, au PIB par habitant et au nombre de centres de santé locaux. … (more)
