ABSTRACT

El síndrome metabólico (SM) corresponde a un conjunto de factores de riesgo derivados de la obesidad visceral e insulinoresistencia. 35.3% de la población adulta chilena presentó SM en el período 2009 - 2010, con diferencia significativa entre hombres y mujeres (41.6% vs 30.9%, respectivamente). En Estados Unidos se ha calculado que la media de años potencialmente perdidos en pacientes con enfermedades mentales va de 25 a 30, comparada con la población general. La principal causa de muerte es la enfermedad coronaria. La mayoría de los pacientes en tratamiento neuroléptico en hospitales psiquiátricos no reciben control de factores de riesgo metabólicos. La evidencia señala que los pacientes esquizofrénicos no son adecuadamente pesquisados ni tratados por Dislipidemia (hasta un 88% de estos pacientes siguen sin tratamiento) ni por hipertensión (hasta un 62%). El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar factores de riesgo cardiovascular en varones hospitalizados en unidad de corta estadía psiquiátrica del Instituto Psiquiátrico Dr. José Horwitz Barak. Se evaluó a 35 pacientes varones, de los cuales un 37% presentó SM, un 45.3% presentó sobrepeso.


The metabolic syndrome (MS) corresponds to a set of risk factors derived from visceral obesity and insulin resistance. 35.3% of the Chilean adult population had MS in the 2009-2010 period, with a significant difference between men and women (41.6% vs 30.9%, respectively). In the United States, it has been estimated that the average number of years potentially lost in patients with mental illness ranges from 25 to 30, compared with the general population. The main cause of death is coronary heart disease. Most patients on neuroleptic treatment in psychiatric hospitals do not receive control of metabolic risk factors. The evidence indicates that schizophrenic patients are not adequately researched or treated for dyslipidemia (up to 88% of these patients remain untreated) or hypertension (up to 62%). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cardiovascular risk factors in hospitalized men in a short stay psychiatric unit of the Psychiatric Institute Dr. José Horwitz Barak. Thirty-five male patients were evaluated, of which 37% had MS, and 45.3% were overweight.
