ALVAREZ-CEBALLOS, Juan Camilo et al. Determining cardiovascular risk in a population group. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.4, pp.334-341. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2016.08.002.
Motivation:
To determine cardiovascular risk with Framingham, Framingham Colombia, Procam, and Procam Colombia in the population of the cardiovascular risk program of a first level institution in the city of Armenia, Quindío.
Methods:
A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted that selected as population the participants of the cardiovascular risk program of a first level health institution in the city of Armenia, Quindío, between 1st of January and 31st of December 2015. Average variables, standard deviation and confidence intervals were described with a comparative gender-sensitive analysis of risk factors for each scale.
Results:
The average age in the cardiovascular risk program was 64.54 years, and a body mass index of 27.71 m2/kg. 76.48% presents arterial hypertension, 20.86% diabetes mellitus and 9.36% smoke. Cardiovascular risk according to the Framingham scale is 11.36%, and with Framingham Colombia it is 8.52%. According to Procam scale it is 9.44%, and with Procam Colombia it is 8.81%.
Body mass index, age and LDL cholesterol are not statistically significant for risk assessment with Framingham and Framingham Colombia scales.
Conclusion:
The proposed appropriate scale for measuring cardiovascular risk in this population group is the Procam or Procam Colombia scale, because it identifies almost all variables in a significant way. Framingham and Framingham Colombia scales must be used with caution for this population group
