SUAREZ GONZALEZ, Juan Antonio y GUTIERREZ MACHADO, Mario. Smoking and cardiometabolic vulnerability in middle-aged women. Acta méd centro [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.4, pp. 753-762. Epub 31-Dic-2023. ISSN 2709-7927.
Introduction:
smoking is considered the main cause of preventable death.
Objective:
to identify the prevalence of smoking and its relationship with other cardiometabolic risk factors in middle-aged women.
Methods:
retrospective descriptive study at the “Mariana Grajales” Hospital of Santa Clara City in the years 2020 and 2021. A simple random sample of 179 women was selected and a survey instrument was applied.
Results:
52.5% of the total middle-aged women have a smoking habit, most of them with an abdominal circumference and a waist/hip index of risk. The 69.27% have an atherogenic index greater than 4.5 which identifies atherogenic risk.
Conclusions:
smoking is related to other risk factors and increases cardiometabolic vulnerability in these patients.
