          Abstract

          La hipercolesterolemia es uno de los principales factores de riesgo cardiovascular modificables el presente estudio se realizó en el ambulatorio leonardo ruiz pineda ii, para determinar los factores de riesgo asociados a hipercolesterolemia, de los pacientes de ambos sexos, entre las edades de 20 a 85 años, que acuden a este centro. la metodología utilizada fue una investigación descriptiva mediante corte transversal, obteniendo la muestra a través de jornadas procurando una buena representatividad y llenando la encuesta de factores de riesgo cardiovascular de la sociedad venezolana de cardiología. se tomó peso, talla, presión arterial, glicemia y colesterol. se encontró una asociación directa y significativa entre la prevalencia de hipercolesterolemia y las de: hipertensión arterial, sobrepeso u obesidad y diabetes, de nivel bastante alto para las dos primeras y moderado para diabetes. en el grupo de menores de 30 años hubo mayor prevalencia de hipertensión, diabetes y sobrepeso u obesidad en el sexo masculino que en el femenino. en el grupo de mayores de 30 años, hubo mayor prevalencia de hipertensión arterial y sobrepeso u obesidad en el sexo femenino mientras la hipercolesterolemia fue mayor en el sexo masculino. para ambos sexos se aprecia un incremento notable de la presencia de todos los factores de riesgo en el grupo etario de más de 30. las frecuencias para los factores de riesgo difieren significativamente de las halladas en consulta así como la odd ratio para obesidad e hipercolesterolemia.

          The Hypercholesterolemia is one of the main modifiable factors of cardiovascular risk The present study was made in the ambulatory Leonardo Ruiz Pineda II, to determine the associated factors of risk to Hypercholesterolemia, of the patients of both sexes, between the ages of 20 to 85 years, that go to this health’s centre. The used Methodology was a descriptive investigation by means of cross section, obtaining the sample through days trying a good representative ness and filling the survey of factors of cardiovascular risk of the Venezuelan Society of Cardiology. Weight was taken, carves, arterial pressure, glycaemia and cholesterol. One was a direct and significant association between the prevalence of Hypercholesterolemia and those of: Arterial hypertension, Overweight or obesity and Diabetes, of quite high level for two first and the moderate one for Diabetes. In the group of minors of 30 years there was greater prevalence of Hypertension, Diabetes and Overweight or obesity in the masculine sex that in the feminine one. In the group of greater of 30 years, there was greater prevalence of arterial Hypertension and Overweight or obesity in feminine sex while the Hypercholesterolemia was greater in masculine sex. For both sexes a remarkable increase of the presence of all the factors of risk in the etario group of more is appraised than 30. The frequencies for the risk factors differ significantly from found in consultation as well as odd ratio for hypercholesterolemia to obesity.

            Passive smoking and the risk of coronary heart disease--a meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies.

            The effect of passive smoking on the risk of coronary heart disease is controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis of the risk of coronary heart disease associated with passive smoking among nonsmokers. We searched the Medline and Dissertation Abstracts Online data bases and reviewed citations in relevant articles to identify 18 epidemiologic (10 cohort and 8 case-control) studies that met prestated inclusion criteria. Information on the designs of the studies, the characteristics of the study subjects, exposure and outcome measures, control for potential confounding factors, and risk estimates was abstracted independently by three investigators using a standardized protocol. Overall, nonsmokers exposed to environmental smoke had a relative risk of coronary heart disease of 1.25 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.17 to 1.32) as compared with nonsmokers not exposed to smoke. Passive smoking was consistently associated with an increased relative risk of coronary heart disease in cohort studies (relative risk, 1.21; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.14 to 1.30), in case-control studies (relative risk, 1.51; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.26 to 1.81), in men (relative risk, 1.22; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.10 to 1.35), in women (relative risk, 1.24; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.15 to 1.34), and in those exposed to smoking at home (relative risk, 1.17; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.11 to 1.24) or in the workplace (relative risk, 1.11; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.00 to 1.23). A significant dose-response relation was identified, with respective relative risks of 1.23 and 1.31 for nonsmokers who were exposed to the smoke of 1 to 19 cigarettes per day and those who were exposed to the smoke of 20 or more cigarettes per day, as compared with nonsmokers not exposed to smoke (P=0.006 for linear trend). Passive smoking is associated with a small increase in the risk of coronary heart disease. Given the high prevalence of cigarette smoking, the public health consequences of passive smoking with regard to coronary heart disease may be important.
