Riesgo cardiovascular según la escala de Framingham ajustada y síndrome metabólico oculto en el personal entre 20 y 55 años de la aviación naval de Guayaquil - Ecuador en el 2021.

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular Diseases are the main cause of death and disability in Ecuador, the cardiovascular risk (CVR) is the probability that an individual has to present them. There are some parameters to estimate CVR, however, in this study it is considered that the adjusted Framingham scale is the most accurate for estimating CVR in the Latin American population. In addition, metabolic syndrome (MS) is linked to the probability to develop a cardiovascular disease, yet there aren't enough studies between the link of MS and CVR with this scale in Ecuador. Objective: To determine the prevalence of hidden Metabolic Syndrome and estimate the cardiovascular risk in people between 20 and 55 years of the Guayaquil Navy air force in 2021. Materials and methods: The research is an observational, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and relational study that analyzed laboratory data obtained from blood samples taken from 154 people from the Guayaquil Naval Aviation. Results: The prevalence of MS in our study was 18.19%. The CVR results by adjusted Framingham scale of very low risk was 85.06% (n = 131), low risk of 14.29% (n = 22) and intermediate risk of 0.65% (n = 1). A significant association relationship (p = 0.012) of having MS with CVR was found. Conclusion: An association relationship was found between hidden metabolic syndrome and increased Cardiovascular Risk measured with the Framingham scale, but not a strong power relationship.
