          Abstract

          Objetivo: examinar la asociación entre el sedentarismo con diferentes factores de riesgo cardiovascular en adultos aparentemente sanos. Diseño: estudio descriptivo y transversal en 147 adultos de edad promedio (38 ± 2,5 años), en el que se estimó la prevalencia de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular por género. Así mismo, se examinó la asociación entre el sedentarismo con los niveles de glucosa en la sangre y lípidos aumentados, la obesidad general (medida por el índice de masa corporal) y la obesidad central (medida por la circunferencia de cintura) en la población general. Resultados: la prevalencia de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular estudiados fue mayor en hombres que en mujeres. La obesidad central (77,1%) y el sedentarismo (45,7%) fueron altamente prevalentes en los hombres, y estuvieron seguidos por el sobrepeso (41,4%), la hipertrigliceridemia (40,1%) y la hipercolesterolemia (27,1%), p<0,01. En la población general, el sedentarismo fue un factor predictor de hipertrigliceridemia 3,36 veces (IC 95% 0,95 - 3,96), de obesidad central 2,6 veces (IC 95% 1,26 - 5,39) y de obesidad general 1,93 veces (IC 95% 1,44 - 7,91), (p<0,05), en comparación con los sujetos físicamente activos. Conclusiones: el sedentarismo está asociado con los factores de riesgo cardiovascular: hipertrigliceridemia, obesidad central y obesidad general. Su identificación temprana podría traer beneficios en la prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares, que actualmente se califican con carácter de epidemia en Colombia.

          Objective: To examine the association between a sedentary lifestyle with different cardiovascular risk factors in apparently healthy adults. Design: descriptive study in 147 adults. Mean age (38 ± 2.5 years). We estimated the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors by gender, and the association between sedentary lifestyle and glucose blood levels, and increased lipids, overall obesity (as measured by body mass index) and central obesity (measured by waist circumference) in the general population. Results: The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors studied was higher in men than in women. Central obesity (77.1%) and sedentary lifestyle (45.7%) were highly prevalent in men, and were followed by overweight (41.4%), hypertriglyceridemia(40.1%) and hypercholesterolemia (27.1%), p <0.01. In the general population, sedentary lifestyle was a predictor of hypertriglyceridemia 3.36 times (CI 95%, 0.95 to 3.96), central obesity 2.6 times (CI 95%, 1.26 to 5.39) and general obesity 1.93 times (CI 95%, 1.44 to 7.91), (p <0.05), compared with physically active subjects. Conclusions: sedentary lifestyle is associated with the cardiovascular risk factors of hypertriglyceridemia, central obesity and general obesity. Early identification could bring benefits in preventing cardiovascular diseases that currently have an epidemic character in Colombia.

              The metabolic syndrome and risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes: experiences with the new diagnostic criteria from the International Diabetes Federation.

              Since the publication of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) consensus definition of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in 2005, numerous studies have compared the new IDF MetS category with previous MetS definitions in its association with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, and in its ability to predict vascular events and incident diabetes. The present review shows that the amount of cardiovascular risk conferred by the respective MetS definitions varies between populations; in most populations it is lower with the IDF MetS than with alternative MetS definitions. For incident diabetes, the number of existing studies appears too limited to draw definite conclusions. Like earlier definitions of the MetS, the IDF MetS is based on distinctive cutoff points for MetS stigmata, neglecting the fact that the risk factors are continuous and not categorical variables.
