Abstract | Residents of urban slums are at greater risk for disease than their non-slum dwelling
urban counterparts. We sought to contrast the prevalences of selected non-communicable diseases
(NCDs) between Brazilian adults living in a slum and the general population of the same city,
by comparing the age and sex-standardized prevalences of selected NCDs from a 2010 survey in
Pau da Lima, Salvador Brazil, with a 2010 national population-based telephone survey. NCD
prevalences in both populations were similar for hypertension (23.6% (95% CI 20.9–26.4) and
22.9% (21.2–24.6), respectively) and for dyslipidemia (22.7% (19.8–25.5) and 21.5% (19.7–23.4)). Slum
residents had higher prevalences of diabetes mellitus (10.1% (7.9–12.3)) and of overweight/obesity
(46.5% (43.1–49.9)), compared to 5.2% (4.2–6.1) and 40.6% (38.5–42.8) of the general population in
Salvador. Fourteen percent (14.5% (12.1–17.0)) of slum residents smoked cigarettes compared to 8.3%
(7.1–9.5) of the general population in Salvador. The national telephone survey underestimated the
prevalence of diabetes mellitus, overweight/obesity, and smoking in the slum population, likely in
part due to differential sampling inside and outside of slums. Further research and targeted policies
are needed to mitigate these inequalities, which could have significant economic and social impacts
on slum residents and their communities. | pt_BR |
