Abstract:
We studied the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (included arterial hypertension, tobacco, diabetes, dyslipemias) in Alcalá de Henares population during the period 1992-1993, following the WHO criterias and protocols. The results upon 12,000 analyzed individuals showed dates similar to other spanish studies in relationship with arterial hypertension and diabetes (factors with known genetic determinants) and, in lesser degree, with tabaquism and hypercholesterolemia.
