ABSTRACT
Fuenlabrada is at the present time the most industrialized town placed at the south are of Madrid. This population has some peculiar attractive characteristics from the epidemiologic point of view. Perhaps the most important is that the majority of its inhabitants are immigrant from other depressed rural areas of the country, with a low socio-economic and cultural level. The new conditions of life could have changed the life expectation and the causes of morbidity and mortality of this population. Between 1981 and 1984 we have studied the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents of its population, the relationships with cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease of the family and type of lactancy of the newborn. The variables studied were height, weight, skin fold, blood pressure, lipids, lipoproteins, glycemia, uric acid and tobacco habit. The laboratory technics were standardized with serums of reference. The index of participation in the study of the required population was approximately of 80%.
