ABSTRACT
Introduction: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Cuba.Objective: To estimate the global cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes mellitus before and after an educational intervention.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was made in 23 diabetic patients type 2 from San Diego de los Baños, during 2012. The global cardiovascular risk of those affected was estimated according to the risk prediction charts of the World Health Organization, 2008, before and after several educational sessions. Also, descriptive statistics and the Spearman's correlation coefficient were used with a 95% significance level.
Results: Initially, this variable was valued from high to very high in most of patients, with prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles, but it was modified after the educational intervention. Significant correlation was also observed between the global cardiovascular risk, diet and body mass index of patients.
Conclusions: The workshop program was effective, as it was achieved favorably to modify the global cardiovascular risk in members of the series.
