ABSTRACT

Introduction: Lifestyle is an aspect of a person’s vital activity and contributes to the development of risk factors for different illnesses. In the adult Mexican population, the high prevalence of over-weight and obesity places this group in situations of risk related to cardiovascular illnesses. Objective: To determine cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and their association with Health promoting lifestyle (HPLS) in healthy adults.
Material and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study; with a sample made up of 160 men and women between 20 and 59 years of age. Blood pressure and anthropometrical readings were carried out to determine the body mass index, blood samples were taken in order to ascertain glucose and cholesterol levels. Health promoting lifestyles which promote health were measured using the Profile for Lifestyles which Promote Health II (PLPH-II). The information was analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics and multiple lineal regression models. Results: The CVRF identified were obesity 64.4%, hyperglycemia 35%, hypercholesterolemia 7.5% and normal high blood pressure 4.4%. The profile for lifestyles which promote health was low (average = 49.6 ± 13.86). Personal biological factors were shown to affect the HPLS (F (3,156) = 3.856, p = .011), explaining the 5.1% variance (R2 adjusted = .051).
Conclusions: Risk factors in the population studied were obesity and hyperglycemia which may be explained by the low perception which these have in relation to a lifestyle that risks health.
