“…Başka bir çalışmada da VKİ'nin ileri değerlendirme gerekli olan çocukların belirlenmesinde en uygun tarama testi olduğunu fakat, adipositenin seviyesi için tanısal olmadığı sonucuna varmışlardır (18). Daha önce Kolombiya'da yapılan çalışmada da (19), kardiyovasküler risk faktörlerini öngörmede Kafkasları inceleyen çalışmanın sonucunda önerilen bel çevresi değerlerinden daha düşük bel çevresi seviyelerinde de KVRF prevelansı yüksek bulunmuştur.…”

<p>El ingreso a la universidad conduce a la adquisición de hábitos inadecuados de vida, como factor de riesgo (FR) para el desarrollo de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles. Este estudio se realizó en 53 estudiantes de primer y 27 de noveno semestres de la Facultad de Cultura Física. Se evaluó en ellos: peso, talla, índice de masa corporal, perímetro abdominal y presión arterial, y a través de una encuesta: tabaquismo, consumo de alcohol, hábitos alimenticios y ejercicio físico. El FR más prevalente fue la presión arterial sistólica > 120 mmHg para ambos grupos, variando la prevalencia de los siguientes FR según el semestre. Este estudio permitió demostrar las dificultades de los propios estudiantes al promover hábitos de vida saludables.</p>

“…14 In Colombia, almost 30% of the population suffers from obesity, and even lower waist circumference levels than those established internationally represent a higher cardiovascular risk factor. 16 Obese patients also seem to suffer fewer postoperative complications when undergoing elective offpump myocardial revascularization rather than on-pump. From a single site in this country, a 4% mortality event rate related to CABG has recently been reported 17 …”

“…Patients with diffuse coronary artery disease showed definite areas of myocardial damage and worse ventricle function. This group of patients was excluded from surgery at the beginning of the 1970s, 16,17 whereas such a patient now constitutes a frequent candidate for revascularization surgery. Essentially, inappropriate distal vascular runoff has been identified as an independent predictor of mortality in the long term and is also related to the rate of reintervention during follow-up.…”

Background-The beginnings of coronary artery bypass graft in Latin America could be set in the year 1971. Since then, improvements in technique and greater experience have resulted in a rapid increase in the rate of interventions performed in the region. Methods and Results-Searches through PubMed and Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud, as well as personal communications from specialists from Latin America, have been the source of information. Articles were selected by their content related to the theme, and the authors' nationality and information is mainly from Latin America. Demographic information of the population of Latin America denotes higher age averages, and this implies an increase in the severity of comorbidities in patients who undergo surgery. Longer life expectancy and improvements in medical therapy have implied that patients survive a first intervention beyond the expected time a bypass persists patent. Wall vessel properties of arterial conduits, plus a better anastomotic technique, seem to be the current solution to worsening in the coronary health of patients who undergo revascularization surgery in Latin America. Conclusions-Despite scarce economic investment in medical sciences, many academic groups contribute to the exploration of therapeutic pharmacological combinations and inclusively apply genetic strategies.

Using waist circumference as a screening tool to identify colombian subjects at cardiovascular risk

Abstract: This study demonstrates a higher prevalence of CVRF in our population at lower levels of WC than those suggested previously in Caucasians, suggesting that ethnic background should be taken into account when using WC as a screener for CVRF.
