Abstract
Systemic arterial hypertension is a clinical condition of great risk in the development of cardiovascular diseases and it has a high impact on public health. The disease is influenced by modifiable and non-modifiable factors. In that context, Dermatoglyphics is a method of analysis of fingerprints as a mark of biological individuality and that can be related to health, sports, and the prognosis of diseases due to being able to point out the individual with the potential to develop certain diseases. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of the fingerprints of women with systemic arterial hypertension by comparing them with a control group, which does not present the disease. Thus, we intend to find a dermatoglyphic pattern for Brazilian women with systemic arterial hypertension. The sample in the study consisted of 732 women, 366 with a positive clinical diagnosis for systemic arterial hypertension, and 366 individuals forming a control group, which did not present systemic arterial hypertension. All individuals in the sample are of equivalent age and the fingerprints were collected from all fingers. The method used to determine the profile of the individuals is the computerized dermatoglyphic. It was used, for the collection of fingerprints, of the Dermatoglyphic Reader®, which presents results of 400% more precision. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups, and when the Adjusted Residue Analysis was performed, the Ulnar Loop figure on fingers 4 and 5 of the left hand, and fingers 1 and 5 of the right hand, was predominant in the group of women with hypertension. These results demonstrate the existence of a dermatoglyphic mark, characteristic of patients with systemic arterial hypertension. Therefore, it can be concluded that the analysis of fingerprints of the hands by the Dermatoglyphic method can demonstrate the potential that women could have developing systemic arterial hypertension.
