Resumo
Background: According to World Health Organization (WHO), Cardiovascular
Disease (CVD) are responsible for 16,7 million deaths/year. In Brazil, respond
for more than 30% of deaths after 20 years of age. Data shows that CVD are
due to an interaction of multiple risk factors that are present since childhood and
adolescence.
Objectives: Verify, in a cohort of medical professionals, prevalence and
evolution of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in a fifteen years interval.
Methods: We analyzed a group of medical professionals at their first year in
medical school and fifteen years later. They answered a questionnaire about
CVRF (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, family history of early CVD,
smoking habits, drinking habits and physical activities practice). Cholesterol,
glycemia, blood pressure (BP), weight, height, body mass index (BMI) and waist
circunference were evaluated.
Results: From 100 subjects (64% men, mean age of 19,9 years), data from 72
individuals (62,5% men, mean age of 34,8 years) were used for comparison 15
years later. There was an increase in hypertension (PA≥140x90mmHg)
overweight (BMI>25Kg/m2) and dyslipidemia (total cholesterol>200mg/dL).
There was no change on prevalence of other CVRF evaluated. The analyses of
systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), cholesterol,
glycemia and BMI showed elevation in mean values of all these variables.
Analyses by sex, found greater elevation of these values in men. There was a
positive relation between values of SBP, DBP, BMI and glycemia found in the
two moments.
Conclusion: In a cohort of medical professionals we found a significant
elevation in mean values of SBP, DBP, cholesterol, BMI and glycemia in a
fifteen years interval. In the analyses of prevalence of CVRF the elevation was

seen for hypertension, overweight and dyslipidemia. There was a positive
relation between values found in first phase comparing to second of SBP, DBP,
BMI and glycemia.
