“…For the tobacco smoking factor, we observed that it was not only present in the patients, but that it was present in a high percentage of the young and adult relatives; although for the young relatives we found lower rates of tobacco smoking than described in other Colombian adolescents 7,20 it is important to note that smoking figures weighed considerably when estimating absolute risk of suffering CVD in this group.…”

“…GF1F= female relatives <18 years. GF2F= female relatives >18 years relatives; and although the sample was not representative when divided into groups, even in the youngest individuals hypercholesterolemia was above that described for young healthy populations from other regions of the country 7 .…”

“…Several studies have been done in Colombia on CRFs is specific population groups, like individuals with a first coronary event 5 , as well as healthy children and adults from different regions of the country [6][7][8] , but none -according to available literature-includes consanguineous relatives of individuals with hypertension who can have one or more CRF. For this reason, a family focus is most appropriate in identifying and preventing the CRFs, given that epidemiological studies have manifested that around 30% to 50% of the interindividual blood pressure variation in the population is genetically determined 3 .…”

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) and absolute risk (AR) among first-degree consanguinity relatives of Colombian patients with hypertension. Methods: The study comprised 227 relatives (siblings and children of both sexes, between 12 and 40 years of age) and 204 hypertensive patients 34-84 years old from Quindío, Colombia. Lipid profile, glycemia, smoking, body mass index, and blood pressure were analyzed, and the AR of cardiovascular disease (CVD) to 10 years was estimated. Relatives were divided into two groups: GF1 relatives <18 years, GF2 relatives >18 years. Results: three or more CRF were found in the three groups. The prevalence for smoking was 20.1%, 9.1%, and 15.9% in patients, GF1, and GF2, respectively. Hypercholesterolemia was 42.2%, 15.2%, and 18.6% in patients, GF1, and GF2, respectively. The prevalence of low HDL-c levels was 50.5%, 44.9%, and 63.6% in relatives, GF1, and GF2, respectively. Obesity was present alone in patients, (32.4%) and GF2 (10.8%). The AR was 19.6 and 6.4 in male and female patients, respectively; 0.31 and 0 in GF1 females and males, respectively, and in GF2 it was 1.5 and 0.15 in males and females, respectively. Conclusions: Patients and relatives had more than three CRFs. HDL-c was low in all three groups. The AR was high in the young relatives. Programs are needed for weight, smoking, sedentary and dyslipidemia control to prevent or delay the development of CVD in relatives.

“…Women had higher prevalence compared to men, which is consistent with studies developed in Chile (women 36.2% vs. men 27.4%) [23], Brazil (women 66.1% vs. men 43.4%) [24], and Korea [25]. At the national level, prevalence in altered lipid profile found in this study (LDL 13.5%, TC 14.7%, and HDL 23.2%) compared with cities of Andean or central Colombian cities such as Medellin (LDL 17.0%, TC 13.5%, and HDL 19.1%) behave in a similar manner [26]. On the other hand, coastal cities such as Cartagena manage to triple the prevalence of those variables (LDL 57.2%, TC 53.2%, and HDL 46.8%) [27].…”

BackgroundObesity is common among children and teenagers and is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in the adult age. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the association between the percentage of body fat and cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents in the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia.Material and MethodsAbout 494 children and adolescents aged 10–20 years were studied. Laboratory tests were made for analyzing cardiovascular risk factors and anthropometric measurements. Percentage body fat was determined with Slaughter equation. Lineal regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between cardiometabolic risk factors and the percentage body fat.ResultsPrevalence of percentage body fat (>26%) was 46.1%. Variables associated with percentage body fat were HOMA-IR – insulin resistance, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure.ConclusionsIncrease in percentage body fat is significantly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents in Bucaramanga. Early identification and intervention of this population at risk is fundamental.

“…In calculating the atherogenic index, which is an estimate of cardiovascular risk, we found that 22% of the population in the study was at increased risk, in line with what has been reported for Colombian children. However, 14% of the population studied by Uscategui in Colombia had higher weight (overweight or obesity) and thus we believe that children with CP present prevalence of dyslipidaemia similar to those from children who are overweight or obese [20]. Dyslipidaemia involves risk factors for developing hypertension [21], specifically elevated triglyceride levels that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease [22].…”

Cerebral palsy people present movement difficulty and are liable to develop disorders associated with sedentary lifestyles such as dyslipidaemias and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess physical activity and the prevalence of lipid abnormalities in 29 children with cerebral palsy who were being treated in two care centers in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. Physical activity was calculated using a survey. Blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides were determined. Forty-eight percent had at least one dyslipidaemia. The most frequent lipid abnormalities were hypertriglyceridaemia and low HDL-C. High prevalence of the atherogenic index was found. The physical activity of children was lower than recommended for their age. Sixty-two percent attended rehabilitation sessions, 10% attended sports classes, 14% rehabilitation plus sports and 14% did not engage in intentional physical activity. There is high frequency of lipid disorders in children with cerebral palsy. Greater participation in physical activity should be promoted in children to improve their metabolic status and quality of life, especially those suffering from cerebral palsy.
