Among the risk factors, the emotional tension maintained 88.5%, the diet rich in saturated fat 86.0% and the sedentary lifestyle prevailed for 82.0%. In a smaller percentage, obesity was 49.0% and dyslipidemia for 44.0%. It is emphasized that in a significant proportion of cases two and three risk factors coexisted at the same time. The cardiovascular risk is high as a consequence of the high prevalence of the coronary risk factors found.
