Cardiovascular risk in rural workers and its relation with body mass index

ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate the propensity of cardiovascular risk in rural workers and, through the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), relate this risk with the classification of Body Mass Index (BMI). Subjects and methods This study is characterized as descriptive and exploratory, with the participation of 138 subjects, ranging between 25-73 years old. Clinical and laboratory analysis of the risk factors contained in the FRS were performed, in addition to the determination of BMI, blood pressure, smoking and physical inactivity. Results The procedures indicated a low risk of a coronary event in 10 years with 70.3% of the population. In contrast, 88.4% of the subjects were overweight. It was evidenced a risk improvement as the BMI increased, since 96.4% of high-risk cases were overweight or obese. Conclusion Results suggest larger prevalence of intermediary or high FRS for women with higher BMI, which was not observed in men.摘要 研究目的：评估农村劳动者的心血管疾病风险倾向，并通过弗雷明汉风险评分（Framingham Risk Score, FRS）分析该风险与体重指数（Body Mass Index, BMI）分级的相关性。 对象与方法：本研究为描述性探索性研究，共纳入138名年龄介于25~73岁之间的受试者。研究对弗雷明汉风险评分所涵盖的各类风险因素开展了临床与实验室检测分析，同时测定了受试者的体重指数、血压、吸烟状况及体力活动不足情况。 研究结果：70.3%的受试者10年内发生冠状动脉事件的风险为低危。与之相对，88.4%的受试者存在超重问题。研究显示，随着BMI升高，心血管风险显著升高——96.4%的高危病例均为超重或肥胖人群。 结论：研究结果提示，BMI较高的女性群体中，中等或高弗雷明汉风险评分的患病率更高，而这一关联在男性群体中未被观察到。
