ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Determinar la fracción atribuible poblacional (FAP) de los factores de riesgo (FR) clásicos para la aparición de la enfermedad cardiovascular en una cohorte poblacional de Extremadura, a fin de recomendar intervenciones preventivas prioritarias. MÉTODOS: DISEÑO: estudio de cohortes. Emplazamiento: Muestra poblacional representativa de un área de salud de Extremadura (España). PARTICIPANTES: Dos mil ochocientos treinta y tres individuos, de 25 a 79 años, seleccionados aleatoriamente e incluidos entre 2007 y 2009. Se registraron antecedentes y se midieron parámetros clínicos, siendo seguidos hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2015. Mediciones: Variables explicativas: edad, sexo, obesidad, tabaquismo, hipertensión arterial (HTA), diabetes mellitus (DM) e hipercolesterolemia. Variable resultado: Primer evento de la variable combinada de infarto de miocardio, angina de pecho, ictus, isquemia de miembros inferiores y muerte cardiovascular. Se calcularon las hazard ratio mediante regresión de Cox, totalmente ajustadas y las FAP mediante la fórmula de Levin. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 2.669 sujetos de la cohorte inicial, al ser excluidos 103 por antecedentes de enfermedad cardiovascular y 61 por pérdidas. El seguimiento fue de 6,9 años (RI: 6,5-7,5). Se documentaron 134 eventos. Tasa de incidencia 7,42/1.000 personas-año. Las hazard ratio ajustadas (IC 95%) fueron: HTA 2,26 (1,40-3,67), hipercolesterolemia 2,23 (1,56-3,18), DM 1,79 (1,24-2,58), tabaquismo 1,72 (1,11-2,69). Las FAP (IC 95%) fueron HTA 31,1 (12,4-48,8), hipercolesterolemia 27,0% (14,8-40,6), tabaquismo 18,8% (3,3-35,0), DM 7,9% (2,6-15,2). CONCLUSIONES: La HTA es el FR con mayor impacto en la salud cardiovascular de la población extremeña, seguido de hipercolesterolemia y tabaquismo, constituyendo objetivos prioritarios para una estrategia preventiva poblacional
OBJECTIVE: To determine the population attributable fraction (PAF) of the major risk factors (RF) for the occurrence of cardiovascular disease in an Extremadura population cohort and therefore recommend priority preventive measures in health. METHODS: Design, Cohort study. LOCATION: Representative population sample of a health area of Extremadura (Spain). PARTICIPANTS: 2833 individuals, from 25 to 79 years old, randomly selected and recruited between 2007 and 2009. Antecedents and clinical parameters were recorded, a follow up until December 31, 2015 were done. Measurements: Explanatory variables: Age, sex, obesity, current smoking, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypercholesterolemia. Outcome variable: First event of the combined variable of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke, peripheral arterial disease and cardiovascular death. Fully adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were calculated by Cox regression. The PAFs were calculated using Levin's formula. RESULTS: 2669 subjects were included, 103 had history of cardiovascular disease and 61 were lost. The follow-up was 6.9 years (IR 6.5-7.5). 134 events were recorded. Incidence rate 7.42/1,000 people-year. Adjusted HR (95% CI) were: hypertension 2.26 (1.40-3.67), hypercholesterolemia 2.23 (1.56-3.18), DM 1.79 (1.24-2.58) and current smoking 1.72 (1.11-2.69). The PAF (95% CI) were: hypertension: 31.1 (12.4-48.8), hypercholesterolemia 27.0% (14.8-40.6), smoking 18.8% (3.3-35.0) and DM 7.9% (2.6-15.2). CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension confers the greatest burden of cardiovascular disease in the population of Extremadura, followed by hypercholesterolemia and smoking. These RF are priority objectives for a population-based preventive strategy
