ABSTRACT

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of death. The study of their risk factors, charge more and more interest within the world medical practice. Objective: To characterize the population regarding the presence of traditional cardio metabolic risk factors and their association with the altered abdominal hypertriglyceridemia phenotype. Material and methods: Prospective correlational descriptive study carried out with the patients who attended the Clinical Laboratory of the «Ernesto Che Guevara» University Polyclinic of Cienfuegos during the month of July of the year 2017. A sample of 100 patients was selected by simple random sampling to which the abdominal waist was measured and the serum triglycerides were quantified. The variables were related using non-parametric Pearson χ2 statistical tests and risk estimation. Results: 61% of the individuals presented altered abdominal waist and 27% hypertriglyceridemia. Nearly half of the patients showed both alterations, being more frequent in females and elderly. Women aged 45 or older are three times more likely to have an altered abdominal waist than the rest of the population. Conclusions: It was observed that the female population, older than 45 years, has a higher prevalence of obesity, with a significant association between abdominal obesity and hypertriglyceridemia prevalence.
