Prediction of cardiovascular risk in adult women from a city at Pernambuco's zona da Mata
Introduction: Cardiovascular Diseases are the main cause of death in men and women. However, in females the prognostics are worse, which may suggest there is a different physiopathology for cardiovascular risk and diseases for males and females, despite this, women are underdiagnosed and underrepres...

| Sumario: | Introduction: Cardiovascular Diseases are the main cause of death in men and women. However, in females the prognostics are worse, which may suggest there is a different physiopathology for cardiovascular risk and diseases for males and females, despite this, women are underdiagnosed and underrepresented in studies on this matter. Objectives: To evaluate the cardiovascular risk in adult women residing at a city of Pernambuco’s Zona da Mata. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study, in wich were done socioeconomic, anthropometric evaluations, as well as cardiovascular risk prediction in women, which were grouped as: eutrophic, overweight obese, accordingly with the BMI. Data occurred between April and December 2022. Statistical analyzes were performed using the SPSS program, executing tests: Anova one-way, Kruskal-Wallis and Pearson’s Chi-squared test, to obtain parametric data, non-parametric data and correlation, respectively. Results: 54 women were evaluated, of which 25,9% were classified as eutrophic (control group), 31,5% overweight and 42,6% obese. Socioeconomic classification was similar among all the groups, however the obese group presented higher levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure; body fat percentage; and higher cardiovascular risk. Correlations between the rise of waist-hip ratio and Framingham’s score were found. Conclusion: Our findings describe correlations between weight excess and the presence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, being able to infer that weight reduction may contribute to a decrease of cardiovascular diseases. |
