Resumen
Antecedentes. Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la principal causa de mortalidad en el mundo. En las Américas fueron responsables de 4.8millines de defunciones correspondiente al 79% de todas las muertes. Están relacionadas con el grupo de edad avanzada (>70 años); sin embargo, se ha reportado que el 82% corresponde a muertes de temprana edad (entre 30 y 70 años) provenientes de países de bajo y medianos ingresos. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el riesgo cardiovascular en el personal administrativo con sobrepeso y obesidad mediante encuesta de estilo de vida para mejorar la calidad de vida y prevenir la mortalidad a temprana edad en el Hospital SOLCA. Metodología Se trata de un estudio de tipo no experimental, descriptivo, observacional mediante una encuesta de estilo de vida y toma de medidas antropométricas. Resultados: Se observaron 42 trabajadores administrativos que presentaron riesgo cardiovascular alto (52.4%) con 64.3% de obesidad, 54.8% de sedentarismo, 61.9% de dieta alta en grasa, 54.8% tabaquismo. Conclusiones: La hipertensión y el tabaquismo se asociaron al riesgo alto en varones mientras que el sedentarismo y la dieta rica en grasa se asociaron al riesgo alto para las mujeres. El grupo de edad 41 a 50 años fue el grupo etario que presento riesgo cardiovascular alto. Por lo tanto, es menester elaborar un programa de salud cardiovascular con medidas de acción que reduzcan el riesgo cardiovascular en el personal administrativo del Hospital
Background Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the world. They were responsible for 4.8 million deaths corresponding to 79% of all deaths in Americas. They are related to the older age group (> 70 years); However, it has been reported that 82% corresponds to the deaths of early age (between 30 and 70 years). The objective of this study is to evaluate cardiovascular risk in overweight and obese administrative staff through the lifestyle survey to improve quality of life and prevent mortality at an early age in SOLCA Hospital. Methodology This is a non-experimental, descriptive, observational study using a lifestyle survey and anthropometric measurements. Results: 42 administrative workers with high cardiovascular risk (52.4%) The highest risk factors were obesity (64.3%); sedentary lifestyle (54.8%), high fat diet (61.9%), smoking (54.8%) was observed. Conclusions: Hypertension and smoking were associated with high risk in males whereas sedentary lifestyle and high fat diet were associated with high risk for females. The age group 41-50 was the high cardiovascular risk presented. Therefore, it is necessary to elaborate a cardiovascular program due to reduce the cardiovascular risk in the administrative staff of the Hospital
