RESUMEN
Introducción. Los factores de riesgo cardiovascular (FRCV) presentan una elevada prevalencia en nuestro país, similar a la de otros países del área mediterránea. Desconocemos cuál es la distribución de estos factores de riesgo en la población magrebí inmigrante. Material y métodos. Se diseñó un estudio descriptivo transversal realizado en 4 centros de salud de una área semiurbana de Barcelona (España). Se incluyeron mediante muestreo consecutivo, desde enero de 2005 a diciembre de 2006, 167 pacientes de un total de 1.127 magrebíes adscritos. Se estudiaron los siguientes FRCV edad, sexo, tabaquismo, hipercolesterolemia, hipertrigliceridemia, hipertensión arterial y diabetes mellitus, y los siguientes datos tiempo de estancia en el país, peso, talla, índice de masa corporal (IMC), realización de ejercicio físico, así como antecedentes de cardiopatía isquémica. Resultados. La edad media fue 36,79 años (desviación estándar [DE] 11,42) y el 59,88% eran hombres. El tiempo medio de estancia en nuestro país fue 4 años (P25-75, 2-6). El IMC medio fue 26,96 (DE 5,21). El 25,75% era fumador, el 22,75% padecía obesidad, el 19,76% presentaba hipercolesterolemia, el 15,57% hipertrigliceridemia, el 10,78% diabetes, el 10,78% hipertensión arterial y el 1,2% antecedentes de cardiopatía isquémica. La prevalencia de FRCV fue mayor en mujeres, con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en obesidad, el 35,82 por 14% (p < 0,002), mientras que los hombres presentaron mayor prevalencia de tabaquismo, 40 frente 4,48% en mujeres (p < 0,001). Conclusiones. La población inmigrante magrebí del estudio presenta una prevalencia de FRCV diferente a la obtenida en estudios poblacionales realizados en Marruecos, con una clara tendencia a parecerse a la de la población española de acogida (AU)
ABSTRACT
Background. The cardiovascular risk factors present a high prevalence in our country, similar to other countries of the Mediterranean area. We don’t know which is the distribution of these risk factors in the Maghrebian immigrant population. Methods. There was designed a descriptive transverse study realized in 4 semiurban health center of Barcelona (Spain). 167 patients were included by means of consecutive sampling, between january 2005 and december 2006, major of age of a total population of 1127 Maghrebian assigned patients. There were studied the following cardiovascular risk factors age, sex, smoking, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus, and information was gathered as time of stay in our country, weight, height, body mass index, the accomplishment of physical exercise, as well as precedents of isquemic cardiophaty. Results. The middle ages were 36.79 years (SD 11.42) and 59,88% they were men. The average time of stay in our country was 4 years (P25-75, 2-6). The average IMC was of 26.96 (SD 5.21). 25.75% was smokers, 22.75% obesity, 19.76% hypercholesterolaemia, 15.57% hypertriglyceridemia, 10.78% diabetes mellitus, 10.78% hypertension and 1.2% CI's precedents. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was higher in women, with a significant difference in obesity, 35.82% by 14% (P <0.002), men had a higher prevalence of smoking, 40% from 4.48% in women (P <0.001). Conclusions. In our study the North African immigrant population has a prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors different from that obtained in population studies in Morocco, with a clear tendency to resemble the Spanish population of the host (AU)
