Abstract
Introducción: La hipertensión arterial sistémica es una enfermedad crónica, de etiología multifactorial, que se caracteriza por un aumento sostenido en las cifras de la presión arterial sistólica y/o de la presión arterial diastólica y que se constituye en un importante problema de salud pública, por su alta incidencia y prevalencia y su asociación con el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares y cerebrovasculares. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de Hipertensión Arterial Sistémica y la correlación con sus factores de riesgo en mayores de 40 años, habitantes de la comunidad de Pajchani Grande, en el periodo de enero - marzo 2022. Material y métodos: El Tipo de investigación es Correlacional, Diseño de tipo No Experimental, Transversal de tipo Prospectivo, Caso - Control. Se estudiaron 150 individuos de ambos sexos, mayores de 40 años que fueron encuestados en la comunidad de Pajchani Grande. La correlación entre Factores de Riesgo e Hipertensión Arterial Sistémica se determinó mediante la fórmula de Odds Ratio. Resultados: El Índice de Masa Corporal es el Factor de Riesgo con mayor asociación con la Hipertensión Arterial Sistémica, con un Odds Ratio de 11.78 veces más de padecer la enfermedad, seguida del Antecedente Familiar (10.06), Ausencia de Ejercicio (9.86), Hábitos tabáquicos y/o enólicos (7.27), Mayores de 60 años (2.19), Falta de conocimiento (1.95) y el Género Masculino (1.43). Conclusión: Existe asociación estadística importante entre los factores de riesgo, con el establecimiento de la Hipertensión Arterial Sistémica. Palabras clave: Factores de riesgo, Hipertensión Arterial Sistémica, Odds ratio, gran altitud.
Introduction: Systemic arterial hypertension is a chronic disease, of multifactorial etiology, which is characterized by a sustained increase in the levels of systolic blood pressure and/or diastolic blood pressure and which constitutes an important public health problem. due to its high incidence and prevalence and its association with the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Objective: To determine the prevalence of Systemic Arterial Hypertension and the correlation with its risk factors in people over 40 years of age, residents of the community of Pajchani Grande, in the period from January to March 2022. Material and methods: The type of research is Correlational, Non-experimental design, Cross- sectional Prospective type, Case - Control. 150 individuals of both sexes, over 40 years of age, who were surveyed in the community of Pajchani Grande were studied. The correlation between Risk Factors and Systemic Arterial Hypertension was determined using the Odds Ratio formula. Results: Body Mass Index is the Risk Factor with the greatest association with Systemic Arterial Hypertension, with an Odds Ratio of 11.78 times more of suffering from the disease, followed by Family History (10.06), Lack of Exercise (9.86), Habits tobacco and/or alcohol users (7.27), Over 60 years of age (2.19), Lack of knowledge (1.95) and the Male Gender (1.43). Conclusion: There is an important statistical association between risk factors and the establishment of Systemic Arterial Hypertension. Keywords: Risk factors, Systemic Arterial Hypertension, Odds ratio, high altitude.
