          Abstract

          Introducción: la enfermedad cardiovascular constituye un problema de importancia en salud pública. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar la prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascular y su asociación con determinantes sociodemográficos, étnicos y clínicos en población de comunidades indígenas pehuenches en Chile. Métodos: estudio de corte transversal para determinar la prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascula en población mayor de 15 años que habita en las comunidades pehuenches de Alto Biobio, en Chile, con una muestra de 400 individuos. Para la recolección de la información se utilizaron la normativa y criterios del Ministerio de Salud de Chile y la función de Framingham, la que fue tabulada en una planilla electrónica y analizada con el paquete estadístico STATA 10/SE. Resultados: la prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascula fue: tabaquismo de 18,2 % en hombres y 9,9 % en mujeres; hipertensión arterial, 25,7 % en hombres y 17,4 % en mujeres; hipercolesterolemia, 9,1 % en hombres y 8,4 % en mujeres; y diabetes mellitus, 2,14 % en hombres y 1,41 % en mujeres. Se hallaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas con mayor prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascula en hombres, población occidental y de mayor edad. Conclusión: el presente estudio mostró una elevada prevalencia, siendo superior en varones y en edades avanzada, y que los indígenas constituyen un grupo de menor riesgo para el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares, lo que podría cambiar producto de la occidentalización de los estilos de vida.

          Introduction: cardiovascular disease is an important problem in public health. The aim of this work is determining the prevalence of the cardiovascular risk factors and their association with socio-demographic, ethnical and clinical determinants in populations of Pehuenches indigenous communities in Chile. Methods: cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in a population elder 15 years old living in the Pehuenches communities of Alto Biobio in Chile, using a sample of 400 persons. For collecting information we used method and criteria of the Chile Ministry of Health and Framingham function, tabulated in an electronic form and analyzed using the statistic pack STATA 10/SE. Results: the prevalence of the cardiovascular risk factors was: smoking 18, 2 % in men and 9,9 % in women; arterial hypertension 25,7 % in men and 17,4 % in women; hyper cholesterolemy 9,1 % in men and 8,4 % in women and diabetes mellitus 2,14 % in men and 1,41 % in women. We found significant statistic differences with higher cardiovascular risk factors prevalence in men, western population and elder age. Conclusion: current research showed a high prevalence, being higher in male, elder people, highlighting that indigenous people is a group with lesser risk for developing cardiovascular diseases, what might change due to the westernization of the life styles.
