ABSTRACT
Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Mexico are the lead cause of death. In primary care, cardiovascular risk (RCV) patients are not detected unnoticed systematically. Objective: To establish prevalence on the population of a primary care unit an social security institution. Material and Methods: Transversal study design in patients 30 to 74 years n = 269. Demographic variables, anthropometric, cardiovascular risk factors and socio biochemical profile were considered. The analysis plan consisted of descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency and dispersion) and inferential (χ2, T test and Relative Risk). Results: The mean age was 51.4 ± 12 years, 49.9% were men, 75% married. The prevalence of high cardiovascular risk was 21.6%, overweight and obesity in 58.7% of the population and largely modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in men. In the t test, differences were found between gender only VLDL (.005) and χ2 in most of the variables studied. The average RR in this population was 2.4 ± 1.9. Conclusions: The prevalence of cardiovascular risk was higher than found in other studies and a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the study group were observed. It is recommended attachment to the Guidelines Diagnostic and Therapeutic RCV tabs by the family physician to quickly identify risk groups.REFERENCES
