Identifying cardiovascular risk in adults and elderly using the framingham risk score

Cardiovascular diseases are generally considered a public health problem, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the cardiovascular evolution and the use of the time scale in order to develop the risk of developing CVD in the next 10 years. METHODS: a quantitative, observational and cross-sectional study in a municipality in the interior of Bahia, consisting of 250 adult and elderly individuals from ages 30 to 74 years and without cardiovascular disease (CVD) without a baseline examination, following the Framingham Heart Study protocols. Only the CVD of the Framingham Study was published. Results: Statistical analysis of the variables between the significance level of p < 0.00 and p < 0.01, respectively. The association between age and diabetes was borderline p = 0.06 in relation to the framing risk score and the majority of the population was classified as below risk. Final Considerations: The positive and significant association between HDL and PAs brings a different approach to the performance of HDL-C in relation to PA levels.
