ABSTRACT
Introduction: Detection of dyslipidemia from 20 years old, apparently healthy subjects, regardless of their sex, it is necessary to avoid events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Objective: To determine the prevalence and gender differences of dyslipidemia in specialty medical residents assigned to the Hospital of Gynecology and Obstetrics IMIEM. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted in 2010. We studied 67 apparently healthy residents. Indicators to establish a dyslipidemia were blood levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, with a fast 12 hours prior. The cut points used were those of NOM-037-SSA2-2002 for the prevention, treatment and control of dyslipidemia. We performed descriptive statistics and ratios for each objective. For the comparative study of gender was analyzed with Student t, using SPSS 17 for windows. Results: We studied 67 subjects with a mean age of 28.5 ± 2.4 years, 43.3% were male and 56.7% female. The 84.8% had serum total cholesterol recommended (less than 200 mg/dL), 9.1% borderline high (200-239 mg/dL) and 6.1% higher (≥ 240 mg/dL). The average total cholesterol was higher for males (average 179 mg/dL) compared to females (average 162 mg/dL) found no statistically significant difference. 18.2% showed borderline serum triglycerides (150-200 mg/dL), ± 36.4% figures 200 mg/dL are considered high risk. The average total triglyceride was higher for males (219 mg/dL) compared to women (129 mg/dL) were statistically significant differences (p = 0.02). The overall prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 6.1% and 36.4% for hypertriglyceridemia. Conclusions: In this study, subjects were apparently healthy and yet were not exempt from suffering dyslipidemia. It was found that the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia is different from the 23.6% national and state 46%. The hypertriglyceridemia was higher in men.REFERENCES
