All cases of sudden cardiovascular death treated at the Julio Trigo López Clinical Surgical Hospital were included (N = 605). The correlation between sex and other sociodemographic factors (age, education, occupation, marital status), and between the variable sex and risk factors (diabetes mellitus, alcohol consumption, smoking, dietary habits, physical inactivity, hematocrit value and dyslipidemia). The determining differentials between men and women were applied from variables. The Chi Square statistical test and the Haberman Corrected Residuals model were used.
