ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico y retrospectivo, de tipo caso-control, de los adultos mayores con infarto agudo del miocardio, pertenecientes al área de salud Municipal de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero de 2006 hasta diciembre de 2011, a fin de identificar los factores de riesgo coronarios asociados al mismo. Se seleccionaron 33 casos y 2 controles por cada uno de ellos. Se calcularon el riesgo relativo a través de la razón de productos cruzados y el riesgo atribuible en expuestos porcentual como medida de impacto. El sedentarismo y la hipertensión arterial tuvieron una acentuada relación significativa de causalidad con el infarto agudo del miocardio y de forma moderada con el tabaquismo, no así los antecedentes familiares ni personales de cardiopatía isquémica, sexo, obesidad y diabetes mellitus

La Moringa oleifera Lam, conocida en Cuba como paraíso francés, entre otros nombres, es una planta con innumerables propiedades nutritivas y terapéuticas, por lo cual pudiera ser considerada como uno de los alimentos que contribuyen al bienestar y a la prevención de enfermedades por sus efectos antioxidantes. Es apremiante llamar a su cultivo, utilización y consumo racional, no solo por sus propiedades, sino también como parte de un estilo de vida sano. A tales efectos, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con vistas a exponer algunos de sus usos medicinales.
