Target group: all patients from 40 to 75 years old of the health area and the sample comprised 300 people chosen by poly-phases or complex sampling. Variables: demography, toxic habits, systolic blood pressure, weight, size, glycemia and total cholesterol. Absolute and relative frequency was calculated determining global cardiovascular risk of each subject using the risk-qualifier from World Health Organization.
Results: 72% of people presented low global risk of cardiovascular disease, fewer in men that increased as they get older; between 2 and 5% of the population was identified as prone to develop a major cardiovascular disease in the next ten years.
