Study of cardiovascular risk according to the Framingham index of faculty and staff atthe University Francisco Marroquín.
Abstract
The faculty and staff of an academic institution should keep good health to meet the daily challenges of theirwork mainly in terms of their cardiovascular health.Is important for patient at risk to know his cardiovascularand coronary disease assessment in order to dicede preventive strategies. We investigated the relationshipbetween age, waist circumference, weight, fat percentage, BMI, physical activity, smoking, total cholesterol,HDL, LDL, triglycerides and glucose and its relation to cardiovascular risk. The sample consisted of 40 adultsover 20 years of both sexes whose profile is the intellectual worker, sedentary and subjected to stress. Theresults were compared to the Framingham Index a multifactorial test. It showed the range where the highestvalue of 21.32% of cardiovascular risk, overlaps with the patient's age and not with the other parametersstudied, also established a significant relationship between high systolic pressure and waist circumferencehigh of 11.91%. The values of 7.14%, 7.73% and 12.10% are mainly cardiovascular risk associated withsmoking.
Key words:
Cardiovascular risk, Index of Framingham, total cholesterol, triglyceridos.
