Prevalencia y factores asociados a dislipidemia en pacientes entre 18 y 64 años, Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso, 2013

Abstract

Introduction: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor associated with cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and associated risk factors in patients between 18-64 years of age, treated in the Outpatient of Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital during 2013.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study with a sample of 471 patients was performed through a form demographics age, gender were collected ; behaviors and comorbidities such as physical activity , alcohol consumption) were asked . Bioantropométricas measures such as blood pressure, weight, height and waist circumference were taken . All patients lipid profile and blood glucose was performed . Prevalence values are presented , the association was determined by the OR, with confidence intervals at 95% , significant values of p <0.05 was considered .

Results: The prevalence of mixed dyslipidemia is 17.6% , that of hypercholesterolemia is 33.5 % and hypertriglyceridemia is 40.6 %. No significant differences by gender and age was demonstrated. Statistically significant association was demonstrated with mixed dyslipidemia central obesity OR 1.75 (CI: 1069-2866, p = 0.025), with overweight / obesity OR 2.173 (CI: 1264-3738 , p = 0.004 ) with blood glucose levels greater than 100 mg / dl OR 2.212 (CI: 1368-3577 , p = 0.025 ) .

Conclusions: dyslipidemia in the study population is high , similar for men and women , more common after age 45.
