Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of mortality worldwide. The implicated causes of them are well defined and are called cardiovascular risk factors. It is useful to know the frequency of these factors in the young adult population in order to take preventive measures.Objective: To determine the prevalence of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, overweight, obesity and smoking in the young population of the urban area of Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay. Material and methods:A cross-sectional, descriptive observational study was carried out from June to August, 2012. One hundred thirty nine subjects, who were between 20 and 40 years of age from the urban area of Coronel Oviedo, were included. They were selected by simple random sampling using the recommendations of the stepwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS) for risk factors of the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization.Results: Mean age was 28.8 years, distribution by sex was 63% women and 37% men. The study showed that 21% suffered arterial hypertension, 8% diabetes mellitus, 36% overweight, 14% obesity and 18% smoking. Sixty one percent presented cardiovascular risk factors distributed as follows: one risk factor 37%, two risk factors 19% and three or more risk factors 6%. Conclusions:The most frequent cardiovascular risk factors were overweight, arterial hypertension and smoking.
The main objective of this study was to estimate the efectivity of chemical and hand thinning. In the first naftalenacetic Acid (ANA) at 5, 10 and 15 ppm; 400, 800 and 1200 ppm Sevin and Bionex (adherent) 1 ml/l of water were realized 20 days after of full flowering from 18 April 1995 forward. The hand thinning was carried out one month later leaving one fruit per shoot. This work was conducted in Arteaga, Coahuila at 2200 masl. Fifteen years old apple trees variety Golden delicious with uniform vigor were selected. Distance between plants and rows was 6 x 8 m approximately. A complete randomized block design with nine treatments and ten replications was utilized. Where a single apple tree was considered a experimental plot. The ANOVA and LSD (DMS) showed that the percentage of thinning for treatments was highly significative (p<0.01), this difference was due to the control. The fruit thinning was effective in every treatment, however the wasting of time and money in the chemical method was smaller than in hand thinning. Thinning was most effective when was applied sevin 400 ppm and NAA 15 ppm at all stages. Apparently, the quality of fruit was not affected by the treatments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
