Key result
Multidisciplinary educational follow-up is proposed to enhance blood pressure control in older hypertensive adults.
Why the study?
Systemic arterial hypertension has a high prevalence in elderly people, creating a need to strengthen Primary Health Care actions for disease prevention and control in this age group.
Does a multidisciplinary educational and organizational intervention in Primary Health Care improve blood pressure control and treatment adherence in older adults with systemic arterial hypertension?
Does a multidisciplinary educational and organizational intervention in Primary Health Care improve blood pressure control and treatment adherence in older adults with systemic arterial hypertension?
This paper outlines a localized, unimplemented primary care intervention proposal combining health education and multidisciplinary follow-up aimed at improving hypertension control and treatment adherence among older adults in a Brazilian community clinic.

May warrant local pilot testing in Brazilian primary care; leaves open efficacy on blood pressure control pending quantitative trials.
The present intervention project aims to promote the prevention and control of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) in elderly people treated at UBS Maria Leda Santos, located in the Conquista neighborhood, Nova Palestine, Vitória-ES. The proposal is based on the high prevalence of the disease in this age group and the need to strengthen Primary Health Care actions. The methodology adopted includes the development of educational activities, support groups and multidisciplinary monitoring, aiming to increase adherence to treatment and encourage healthy lifestyle habits. The result is expected to improve blood pressure control, reduce cardiovascular complications and strengthen the bond between the team and the community. The project proposes a comprehensive and humanized approach, based on co-responsibility of care, and seeks to contribute to active, healthy and participatory aging, aligned with public health policies and the guidelines of the Unified Health System (SUS).

Martins et al. (2026) studied Systemic arterial hypertension. Educational activities, support groups, and multidisciplinary follow-up was evaluated on Blood pressure control and treatment adherence. Educational activities and multidisciplinary follow-up are proposed to improve blood pressure control in older adults with hypertension at a Brazilian primary care unit, with no quantitative results.
