CALDERON, Mónica A; ARANGUREN, Sandra L; GERONIMO, Néstor R  y  CASTANEDA, Oneida. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in applicants to a civil works company in Yopal-Casanare, 2010. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.6, pp.287-288. ISSN 0120-5633.

Introduction: according to recent statistics, in Colombia cardiovascular diseases represent the second cause of mortality. In Casanare, mortality in 2009 due to cardiovascular disease was 54.3%. Objective: to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and establish coronary risk at ten years in applicants aspiring to join a civil works company cared by an occupational health service institution in Yopal (Casanare) in 2010 . Methods: cross-sectional study from medical records of male personnel with laboratory tests. Analysis with Epi-Info-3.3.2-15.0® and SPSS® by measures of frequency, central trend and dispersion. Bivariate analysis was checked by Χ2, likelihood ratio, odds ratio (OR) and 10-year coronary risk according to Framingham table. Results: we reviewed 142 medical records; mean age was 34.7 years (range 19-66). 98.6% had cardiovascular risk factors, 48.6% presented overweight / obesity, 43.7% had hypercholesterolemia, 57.0% hypertriglyceridemia ,17.6% HDL cholesterol, 7.0% hyperglycemia, 28.9% dyslipidemia, and 8.5% hypertension. Smoking prevalence was 9.9%, alcohol consumption 31.7%, and 81.7% had a sedentary life. Family history: hypertension 7.7%, 5.6% diabetes, coronary heart disease 1.4%. Relationship between smoking / hypercholesterolemia, OR = 3.77 (95% CI = 1.01-15.22), physical activity/HDL cholesterol OR = 0.3 (95% CI = 0.1-0.88 ), smoking / cardiovascular risk OR = 34.64 (95% CI = 2.79-947.4). Estimate according to Framingham, low coronary risk <1 5% = 97.2%. Conclusions: few individuals reported not smoking, drinking alcohol and doing physical activity, which could present the "healthy worker effect". Low coronary risk was revealed, as well as strong relationship between smoking / hypercholesterolemia and protection of the physical activity versus HDL cholesterol risk levels.
