ABSTRACT
Introduction: atherosclerosis is characterized by thickening and loss of elasticity of the arterial wall. This results in complications such as physical, hemodynamic, biochemical, metabolic, humoral, inflammatory and coagulation disorders.Objective: to characterize adolescents with risk factors for atherosclerosis at Jesus Menendez Larrondo senior high school from September to December 2019.
Method: an observational, descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study was conducted with a target group of 71 patients with risk factors for atherosclerosis, 60 patients comprised the sample, chosen by simple random sampling. The variables studied were: age, sex, risk factors for atherosclerosis, family history of atherosclerotic disease and associated risk factors.
Results: male sex predominated (58,33 %), and ages between 14 and 16 years (56,67 %). Seventy percent (70 %) of patients presented family history of atherosclerotic disease, 68,3 % obesity and 58,3 % practiced sedentary lifestyle. Fifty percent (50 %) of patients presented only one risk factor; 5 % of them presented three or more risk factors.
Conclusions: adolescents with risk factors for atherosclerosis were predominantly male and in ages from 14 to 16; most of them were obese and a family pathologic history of atherosclerotic disease with only one risk factor.
