Resumen
Descripción
En este estudio se analiza la asociación entre la exposición a diversos factores —de biotipo, socioeconómicos y patológicos— y la alteración del perfil de lípidos sanguíneos (dislipidemia) en pacientes adscritos al Área de Salud de Montes de Oca. Se realizó un estudio de caso-control, con un total de 135 casos e igual cantidad de controles, entre 20 y 65 años, a los que se les hizo un perfil de lípidos sanguíneos durante el año 2006. Las variables estudiadas fueron: edad, sexo, índice de masa corporal, tipo de aseguramiento, estado de portador de hipertensión arterial, de diabetes mellitus o de ambas patologías crónicas a la vez. Se realizó un análisis univariado, seguido de un análisis multivariado, mediante un modelo logístico múltiple. La única variable asociada con la dislipidemia fue el índice de masa corporal, tanto en el análisis univariado como en el multivariado; las variables restantes no mostraron asociación estadística. Aquellos pacientes con mayor índice de masa corporal presentan un mayor riesgo de tener un perfil alterado de lípidos sanguíneos.
This study is aimed at analyzing the association between alterations in the blood lipid profile (dyslipidemia) and the exposure to socioeconomic, biotype and pathological conditions in patients in the Montes de Oca Health Service Area. A case-control study was conducted with a total of 135 cases and 135 controls that were between 20 and 65 years of age and were tested in 2006 for a blood lipid profile. Variables analyzed were: age, sex, body mass index, insurance type and presence of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus or both chronic pathologies simultaneously. A univariate analysis was followed by a multivariate analysis using a multiple logistic model. The only variable associated with dyslipidemia was body mass index in both the univariate and multivariate analyses. The rest of the variables showed no statistical association. Patients with higher body mass index exhibit a higher risk of an altered blood lipid profile.
