Riesgo cardiovascular según la ecuación Globorisk en personal del mercado La Tebaida

Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases represent a public health problem and are the leading cause of death worldwide. Their incidence is increasing, making them a growing concern. In our region, no studies have been conducted to assess cardiovascular risk in the population working in markets, thus creating the need for this research. Objectives: To analyze the relationship between cardiovascular risk and body composition. Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted to determine cardiovascular risk and potential risk factors. The entire population was included. Data were analyzed using the SPSS and EPIDAT statistical software. Measures of central tendency and dispersion were used to present the qualitative variables. Results: The average age of the men was 49 years and that of the women 43 years. No participant obtained high cardiovascular risk values ​​(53.8% vs 87.2%). No statistically significant correlation was found between cardiovascular risk and body composition, taking into account variables such as waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio. In the adjusted models, these variables showed a significant correlation. Conclusions: No statistically significant relationship was found between body composition variables and cardiovascular risk. However, the adjusted models showed that certain values, such as waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio, have a significant correlation.
