Objetivo: Determinar cuáles son los factores de riesgo asociados al género. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal en 566 personas afiliadas a una institución prestadora de salud en la ciudad de Barranquilla e inscritas  en el programa “Muévete Corazón” en el periodo comprendido de marzo a diciembre del 2011. Se indagó sobre la edad, sexo y los factores de riesgo cardiovascular, sedentarismo, consumo de tabaco, hipertensión, índice de masa corporal (IMC), perímetro abdominal y diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Se estimaron los odds ratios (OR) de tener más de 3 y ≥4 factores de riesgo cardiovasculares en comparación con no tener factores de riesgo según el sexo. Resultados: De las 566 personas, el 73,1% fueron mujeres, con una media de edad de 63,4±13,6 años. El 62,7% tenía entre dos y tres factores de riesgo. Se encontró que las mujeres tienen mayor probabilidad de presentar de 1 a 3 y más de cuatro a factores de riesgo cardiovascular [OR 6,81 (IC 95% 2,2-22,1)] y [OR 17,0 (IC 95% 5,0-61,9)], respectivamente. Conclusión: Fue mayor la presencia de tres o más factores de riesgo en el sexo femenino, animando a implementar intervenciones eficaces para la prevención de las enfermedades cardiovasculares.Objective: To determinate what are the risk factors related to the gender. Materialsand methods: It was made a cross sectional study with 566 people affiliated to ahealth provider institution in Barranquilla city and registered in the “Muévete Corazón”program, in the period from March to December of 2011. It was inquired about the age,sex and the cardiovascular risk factors, sedentarism, snuff use, hypertension, bodymass index (BMI), abdominal perimeter, and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 2. It

Abstract Background: Little is known about the association between abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among patients with diabetes. This study evaluated the cross-sectional association between AAC and CVD morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study enrolled 285 inpatients with type 2 diabetes. The lateral view of an abdominal X-ray image obtained while each subject was in a standing position was examined, and the AAC score and AAC length, corresponding to the area of calcific deposits in the anterior and posterior aortic wall for the L1-4 and L1-5 regions, respectively, were measured. The associations between the AAC scores and lengths and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebral infarction (CI), and peripheral artery disease (PAD) were then assessed. The correlation between the AAC grades and other clinical factors were also evaluated. Results: The degree of AAC was significantly correlated with a higher prevalence of CAD and CI but not PAD after adjustments for cardiovascular risk factors. The AAC score was inversely correlated with BMI, and both the AAC score and the AAC length were correlated with the Fib-4 index; these correlations persisted after adjustments for cardiovascular risk factors and BMI, although AAC was not associated with ultrasonography-diagnosed fatty liver. Conclusion: AAC is associated with CAD and CI morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes. AAC grading also predicts the Fib-4 index, a hepatic fibrosis marker, suggesting a novel potential predictor of liver disease that is independent of cardiovascular risk factors and obesity.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the optimal cut-offs of BMI for Malaysian adults.DesignPopulation-based, cross-sectional study. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine the cut-off values of BMI with optimum sensitivity and specificity for the detection of three cardiovascular risk factors: diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia. Gender-specific logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association between BMI and these cardiovascular risk factors.SettingAll fourteen states in Malaysia.SubjectsMalaysian adults aged ≥18 years (n 32 703) who participated in the Third National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2006.ResultsThe optimal BMI cut-off value for predicting the presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia or at least one of these cardiovascular risk factors varied from 23·3 to 24·1 kg/m2 for men and from 24·0 to 25·4 kg/m2 for women. In men and women, the odds ratio for having diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia or at least one cardiovascular risk factor increased significantly as BMI cut-off point increased.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that BMI cut-offs of 23·0 kg/m2 in men and 24·0 kg/m2 in women are appropriate for classification of overweight. We suggest that these cut-offs can be used by health professionals to identify individuals for cardiovascular risk screening and weight management programmes.

Hypertension is commonly associated with other cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia. The presence of these cardiovascular risk factors and the resulting endothelial dysfunction may play a role in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Dyslipidaemia, a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease.  This cross-sectional study was conducted at Shendi locality from February 2011 to July 2012. The patients underwent a clinical assessment, which included history (a questionnaire) and clinical examination. 100 hypertensive patients. The age limits was 40 to 60 years. There was sharp and definite increase in the percentage of patients having >200mg/dl total cholesterol after four years of diabetes mellitus from (28-34%) to (41%). There was a sharp increase in the percentage of patients having >150mg/dl of low density lipoproteins after 6 years of diabetes mellitus from(8-9%)  to (14.2%). There was also an increase in the percentage of patients having <160mg/dl of triglycerides after four years of diabetes mellitus from 53% to 61% of diabetes.

Background: The association between obesity and a reduction in life expectancy is well established, and cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality. Bariatric surgery has long been established as the most effective and durable intervention for obesity, and is the only intervention for obesity that consistently improves multiple comorbidities, reduces cardiovascular disease and long-term mortality. The purpose of this review article is to describe the impact of metabolic/bariatric surgery on type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiometabolic parameters, including cardiovascular mortality. Methods: A systematic literature search of Pubmed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Central Register was performed. We included randomized controlled trials, metanalysis, case-control trials, and cohort studies that contain data on reductions in cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular mortality in subjects who underwent metabolic/bariatric surgery from January 1, 2005, to June 1, 2020. Conclusion: There is sufficient evidence of randomized controlled trials that metabolic/bariatric surgery is associated with a significant improvement of all cardiovascular risk factors. Although studies are showing a reduction of macrovascular events and cardiovascular mortality, these findings come from observational studies and should be confirmed in randomized clinical trials.
