Fatores de risco cardiovascular em mulheres atendidas em unidade de saúde

Abstract: As doenças cardiovasculares representam a principal causa de morte da população adulta no Brasil. Este trabalho avaliou a prevalência de fatores de risco cardiovascular entre 87 mulheres atendidas em ambulatório de unidade de saúde. A análise dos dados foi realizada considerando grupos etários (adultas e idosas), utilizando o programa STATA 7.0. O fator de risco mais prevalente foi hipercolesterolemia (63,16% para adultas e 75% para idosas); seguido por obesidade abdominal (61,4%), tabagismo (61,4%) e hiperten… Show more

“…This finding can be explained by the fact that age is one of the important risk factors for CVD development 19,20,30 and the studied population had a mean age of 44.18 ± 14.42 years, suggesting that women who participated of this study did not yet have some of the assessed morbidities, since they were still fertile (10 to 49 years). 34,35 During menopause, changes in body fat distribution increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. 35,36 In a study carried out in Africa with 169 postmenopausal women, abdominal circumference was correlated with systemic arterial hypertension.…”

“…34,35 During menopause, changes in body fat distribution increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. 35,36 In a study carried out in Africa with 169 postmenopausal women, abdominal circumference was correlated with systemic arterial hypertension. The results can be explained by the typical hormonal changes that occur in menopause, most prevalent at this age, when women are more vulnerable to metabolic diseases, such as dyslipidemia and systemic arterial hypertension, and which may increase the risk of CVD.…”
