“…Although literature has focused more on acute and mental health consequences of exposure to conflict and displacement, 33 those who survive may experience long-term effects that similarly threaten their health and lives, Displacement results in socio-cultural, psychosocial, and physiological stressors. 32,34 These stressors can set in motion a series of physiological changes that have been clearly linked to hypertension [35][36][37][38] as well as other chronic health risks.…”

Conditions in the social and physical environment influence population health and risk for CVD, including hypertension. These environmental conditions are influenced by the decisions of public officials, community leaders, and service providers. Examining the frames that local decision makers bring to understanding hypertension can provide important insights into the decisions that they make about strategies for addressing this problem in their jurisdiction. The goal of this study was to examine the frames that local decision makers in Quibdó, Colombia, bring to understanding hypertension risk, and in particular, whether and how they use frames that encompass associations between living conditions and hypertension risk. Data for this qualitative study were collected using a stratified sampling strategy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2012 with 13 local decision makers and analyzed using a framework approach. Participants linked the structural conditions experienced in Quibdó, including displacement, limited economic opportunities, and the infrastructure of the city, to hypertension risk through multiple pathways, including behavioral risk factors for hypertension and physiologic responses to stress. They described the social patterning of these factors across socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and gender hierarchies. Although several conditions associated with hypertension risk are widely distributed in the city's population, social processes of marginalization and stratification create additional disadvantages for those on the lower rungs of the social hierarchy.

[2] CONCLUSION Association between time and stress has been established. Stressful events are thought to influence the pathogenesis of physical disease by causing negative affective states (eg, feelings of anxiety and depression), which in turn exert direct effects on biological processes or behavioural pat-terns that influence disease risk.…”

“…Continuous long-term psychological stress could also affect the occurrence of hypertension, particularly in terms of inadequate workplace conditions and lower socioeconomic status [9]. All these factors constitute hypertension as a multifactorial disorder with intertwined influence of environmental and genetic factors, as confirmed by the latest human genome analysis [10].…”

Introduction: Systematical calculation of cardiovascular risks with middle aged persons is not recommended, but in that age start of measures of primary prevention is recommended. Methods: Retrospective research study. Laboratorial data were used from persons aged 40 to 50 who have done a physical examination for working employees in the private Medical Centre for Occupational Medicine during 2014. Results: There were 54% of overweight examinees, 17% really obese, with a greater representation of men. Higher systolic blood pressure was found with 24% of males and 10% of females, a diastolic with 28% of males and 8% of females. High total and LDL cholesterol were found with 71% of examinees, while low HDL cholesterol and high triglycerides were found with 21% i.e. 25% of examinees, regardless of gender. Conclusion: Register of physical examinations of employees should be used as a source of information on representation of cardiovascular risks with middle aged persons, which would allow a timely start of measures of primary prevention.
