          Abstract

          Introducción: Las enfermedades cardiometabólicas son causa de 30% de las muertes en el mundo, siete de cada 10 mexicanos tienen sobrepeso u obesidad, condicionantes de diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial y enfermedades cardiovasculares. Objetivo: Estudiar la prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiometabólico en estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas y Biológicas ''Dr. Ignacio Chávez'' de la Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo en Morelia, Michoacán. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio epidemiológico, transversal, descriptivo, aleatorio y voluntario. Se evaluaron factores de riesgo cardiovascular como edad, sexo, antecedentes heredofamiliares, hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus, tabaquismo, obesidad, cardiopatía isquémica prematura y actividad física. Resultados: De 141 estudiantes, 67 (47.5%) fueron hombres y 74 (52.5%) mujeres, el promedio de edad (homogéneo 22.66 ± 0.18 varones y 22.23 ± 0.10 mujeres). Fumadores mujeres 9 (6.38%) y hombres 15 (10.63%); el perímetro abdominal en 5 hombres (3.5 %) fue > 102 cm, y en 13 mujeres (9.20%) > 88 cm. El valor de colesterol total normal en mujeres fue de 73 (51.80%) y en hombres de 64 (45.40%). Conclusiones: Un porcentaje elevado de universitarios presentaron sobrepeso, obesidad, tabaquismo, hipertensión arterial y alteración del perfil lipídico. Algunos factores de riesgo son modificables con cambios de estilo de vida. Es necesario que autoridades en salud y educación tomen medidas para establecer estilos de vida saludables.

          Introduction: The cardiometabolics diseases cause 30% of deaths in the world, seven of ten Mexicans have overweight or obesity, conditioners of diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To study prevalence of cardiometabolics factors of risk in students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences and Biological ''Dr. Ignacio Chávez'', in Morelia, Michoacán. Material and Methods: Study cross-sectional, descriptive, random and voluntary epidemiologist, familiars here to factors of cardiometabolics risk like the age, sex, antecedents, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, tobacco addiction, obesity, premature ischemic cardiopathy and physical activity were evaluated. Results: Of 141 students 67 (47.5%) men and 74 (52.5%) women, homogenous average of age men 22.66 ± 0.10 women, 22.23 ± 0.18 women 9 (6.38%) and men 15 (10.63%) are smokers. The abdominal risk in man 5 (3.50) of ( > 102 cm), and women 13 (9.20%) ( > 88 cm). The value of normal total cholesterol was in women 73 (51.80%) and in men 64 (45.40%). Conclusions: A lifted percentage of college students presented/displayed overweight, obesity, tobacco addiction, arterial hypertension and alteration of the lipoid profile. Some factors of risk are modifiable with changes of life style, is necessary that authorities in health and education take measures to establish healthful styles of life.

          High prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in Gerona, Spain, a province with low myocardial infarction incidence. REGICOR Investigators.

          To establish the prevalence of main cardiovascular risk factors in the province of Gerona, where the incidence of myocardial infarction is known to be low. This was a cross sectional study of prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors conducted on a large random population sample. The province of Gerona, Spain. Two thousand four hundred and four eligible inhabitants of Gerona aged between 25 and 74 years were randomly selected for a multi-stage sample stratified by age and sex. The following were standardly measured: lipids (total cholesterol, high density, low density, lipoprotein (a) and triglycerides), fibrinogen, basal glycaemia, arterial pressure, anthropometric variables, smoking, history of angina (Rose questionnaire), and a medical history questionnaire. Population measurements were standardised for the world population of 24 to 74 years of age. The participation rate was 72.7% (1748). Total mean cholesterol was 5.69 mmol/l in men and 5.61 mmol/l in women and mean high density cholesterol was 1.22 mmol/l and 1.47 mmol/l, respectively. Median lipoprotein (a) was 0.22 g/l. These three lipids increased significantly with age. Mean fibrinogen was 2.92 g/l in men and 3.09 g/l in women, and was higher in smokers. The prevalence of hypertension (systolic arterial tension > or = 140 mm Hg or diastolic > or = 90 mm Hg or drug treatment) was 31.3% in men and 27.7% in women. The proportion of male smokers was 33.8% and female smokers 22.7%. The proportion of female smokers in the 25-34 year age group exceeded that of the remaining age groups for both men and women. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in Gerona is relatively high for the low myocardial infarction incidence typical of the area, although similar to that of other Spanish areas. The factors that confer sufficient protection to compensate for the effect of the prevalence of these risk factors remain to be elucidated.
