ABSTRACT

To analyze the risk factors for Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) present in a group of people in the Dr. Angel Larralde Hospital a study was performed with 209 volunteers (145 women and 64 men) between 20 and 70 years of age who underwent: a) Anthropometric Evaluation: Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) and Physical Examination: Systolic (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP); and b) Biochemical Evaluation: Glycemia (GLYC), Triglycerides (TG), Total Cholesterol (CHOL), high density lipoprotein HDL-C, low density lipoprotein LDL-C and very low density lipoprotein VLDL-C, applying enzymatic methods. It was also investigated, Age, physical activity, smoking habits and alcohol consumption. More than 50% of the individuals showed a BMI › 25; 64% of women showed a WHR value ›0.8; 36% of men had hypertriglyceridemia and high levels of VLDL-C; 41% of women and 30% of men showed decreased HDL-C. Value a high frequency of sedentary life in 64% of men and 79% of women. The age significantly (p ‹ 0.05) affected the values for WHR, SBP, DBP, GLYC, CHOL, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and VLDL-C. It is concluded that the population elected for this study might be considered under a high risk for CVD, since both nutritional and metabolic factors, as well as the other risk factors analyzed, were present in a high percentage of the individuals studied.
