Abstract: Non-communicable chronic diseases, especially Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM), represent major challenges for Brazilian public health due to their high prevalence and associated socioeconomic impacts. The objective of this chapter was to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of the population assisted by the Academic League of Applied Nephrology (LANA) during community outreach activities conducted in Ouro Preto (MG), as well as to analyze factors associated with cardiometabolic risk. This was an observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study conducted in 2025, including 576 adult participants. Sociodemographic information, family history, time since diagnosis, medication use, as well as blood pressure measurements, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) were collected in accordance with current guidelines. The prevalence of SAH was 32.6%, with a predominance of recent diagnoses (less than 5 years), and the prevalence of DM was 10.1%, with a higher concentration among individuals over 50 years of age. A high frequency of overweight (60.7%) and abdominal obesity was observed, with a greater proportion among women (77.7%), hypertensive individuals (74.3%), and diabetic individuals (70.7%). Among individuals with SAH, 72.4% were outside the target blood pressure range at the time of measurement, including those who reported adequate control, highlighting a discrepancy between perceived and actual disease control. A positive family history was identified in 65.5% of participants with chronic diseases. Associations with advanced age were also noted, as well as a higher frequency of SAH and DM among Black and Brown individuals, a population that accounted for a significant 89.6% of DM cases. These findings reinforce the strategic role of community-based initiatives and Academic Leagues in screening, health education, and strengthening primary health care, contributing to the reduction of complications and the mitigation of health inequalities.
