NAVARRO, Edgar  y  VARGAS, Rusvelt F. Coronary risk according to Framinghan equation in adults with metabolic syndrome in the city of Soledad, Atlantico, 2010. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.3, pp.109-118. ISSN 0120-5633.

Objective: to determine coronary risk in adults with coronary syndrome in the city of Soledad, Atlantico. 2010. Methods: cross sectional study. A survey of cardiovascular risks was applied to 99 adults in the city of Soledad. Additionally, measures of weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure were taken, as well as biochemical tests for blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides, in order to determine the metabolic syndrome prevalence. In addition, we applied the Framinghan score to evaluate coronary risk. Results and Conclusions: 49.5% subjects had metabolic syndrome according to the International Diabetes Foundation, 41.4% according to the American Heart Association, and 20.2% according to the American Treatment Pannel III. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher in women (p >0,05); age differences were statistically significant (p <0,05). The average percentage of Framinghan cardiovascular risk was 3% (SD ±: 4.72%), higher in men: 5.67 (SD ±: 5.24) versus 1.01 (SD ±: 3, 04) in women. In men with metabolic syndrome, the cardiovascular risk was higher..
