THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ON SYSTEMIC ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION: AN INTEGRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
The Social Determinants of Health influence the ability of individuals to adopt healthy habits, access early diagnoses and maintain therapeutic adherence in cases of chronic conditions such as systemic arterial hypertension. Therefore, this research seeks to analyze how the Social Determinants of Health influence the occurrence, control and management of systemic arterial hypertension. Through an integrative literature review, data collection took place in April and May 2025, in the Virtual Health Library, Scientific Electronic Library Online, and PubMed, using search strategies with descriptors and defining inclusion and exclusion criteria for selection. The data were extracted from the articles selected with the aid of Excel and analyzed by descriptive statistics and interpretative and reflective readings. The results analyzed nine manuscripts, published between 2020 and 2025, and showed that systemic arterial hypertension is strongly associated with social determinants such as low education, insufficient income, unstable socioeconomic position, and racial inequalities. We conclude that these factors are interrelated and contribute to the increase in the prevalence of the disease, hinder access to health services, compromise adherence to treatment, and reduce the effectiveness of available therapeutic strategies.
