To describe the basic characteristics and lifestyles of the population of a Health Region, on medication for two or more cardiovascular risk factors.
Cross-sectional descriptive study.
Tarragona Primary Care.
The subjects, less than 65 years-old, were identified by the dispensing data of hypertensive, glucose-lowering and lipid-lowering pharmaceutical drugs.
Specific structured questionnaires were designed for each drugs group, and the information was gathered by telephone. Age, sex, sedentarism, alcohol and tobacco habits, diet and body mass index were analysed. A total of 1201 patients, with a mean age of 58.9±7.6 years, were interviewed. There were 54.2% males. A total of 636 (53.0%) subjects took anti-hypertensive and cholesterol lowering drugs, 212 (17.7%) anti-hypertensive and glucose lowering drugs, and 128 (10.8%) cholesterol lowering and glucose lowering drugs, and 225 (18.7%) patients took drugs from the three groups. There were 19.2% active smokers, 5.7% stated excessive alcohol consumption, 266 (22.2%) stated that they did not follow any diet, and 15% were sedentary or did a minimum of physical activity. The mean body mass index was 29.9±4.9 kg/m(2), being highest among the subjects who took anti-hypertensive and glucose lowering drugs (P<0.001), and 44.2% were obese.
Approximately one fifth of the subjects who took at least 2 pharmacological groups was an active smoker, one quarter of the total did not follow a diet, half were obese and two-thirds did little or no physical activity. These results show low compliance to hygienic-dietetic measures by patients with an increased cardiovascular risk.
描述某健康区域内正在服用治疗两种或更多心血管危险因素药物的人群的基本特征和生活方式。
横断面描述性研究。
塔拉戈纳初级保健机构。
通过降压药、降糖药和降脂药的配药数据确定年龄小于65岁的受试者。
为每个药物组设计了特定的结构化问卷，并通过电话收集信息。分析了年龄、性别、久坐情况、饮酒和吸烟习惯、饮食及体重指数。共访谈了1201名患者，平均年龄为58.9±7.6岁，其中男性占54.2%。共有636名（53.0%）受试者服用降压药和降胆固醇药，212名（17.7%）服用降压药和降糖药，128名（10.8%）服用降胆固醇药和降糖药，225名（18.7%）患者服用这三组药物。有19.2%的人是现吸烟者，5.7%的人表示饮酒过量，266名（22.2%）表示他们没有遵循任何饮食规律，15%的人久坐不动或极少进行体育活动。平均体重指数为29.9±4.9kg/m²，在服用降压药和降糖药的受试者中最高（P<0.001），44.2%的人肥胖。
服用至少两类药物的受试者中约五分之一是现吸烟者，四分之一的人未遵循饮食规律，一半的人肥胖，三分之二的人极少或不进行体育活动。这些结果表明心血管风险增加的患者对卫生饮食措施的依从性较低。
