The high incidence of this disease gives hope to the organizers that there will be a great attendance. In La Rioja, if we analyse the mortality by age, we note that cardiovascular diseases are among the three leading causes of death in the age group 45 to 54 years for males and 65 to 74 years for women. After 75 years, these diseases occupy first place in both sexes.
In the same way, has already undergone a cardiovascular episode or suffers an illness of this type, they can reduce the chances of return to suffer acute coronary episodes if risk factors are controlled, comply with the treatment prescribed by your doctor and maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, in the light of the recent published studies it is estimated that more than half of patients with prior cardiovascular events do not conveniently control their cholesterol or blood pressure numbers, continue smoking more than 20% and 30% are obese.
According to the latest study published in the year 2000 on the risk factors in La Rioja, is 50 per cent of diagnosed patients do not adequately control their life habits. Thus emerges from the study by 56.4% showed values colesterolemia high (61% male, 52 per cent women); 46.3% had high blood pressure (53.4% male and 32.4 per cent women); they were smoking 31.8% (39% men and 25% women) and almost half the population was sedentary, being more this situation in women (61%) than men (42%). 12.3% Of the women and 13.5 per cent of men had obesity.
At least 36.9% of the population, had a modifiable risk factor. Because of the ageing of the population and the persistence of the factors of risk, despite a better health care; morbidity and mortality for a cardiovascular episode will increase over the coming decades, according to experts. And despite the knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors various studies show that the control of them is far from optimal.
According to data from the national survey, the autonomous community of La Rioja exceeds the national average in childhood obesity and overweight in adulthood. Classroom health tips and guidelines for aid will be offered to enhance these trends.
