Factores de riesgo coronario entre la juventud de Cáceres y Barcelona.

Coronary risk factors among young people in Caceres and Barcelona.

Abstract

Myocardial ischemia is generally due to a decrease of the blood flow through coronary arteries. The coronary flow reduction is a side effect, in most cases, of arteriosclerotic injuries.
The prevalence of this disease widely varies depending on geographical areas. Ischemic cardiopahty is still the main cause of mortality in most western industrial countries.
The risk factors associated to this disease are genetic as well as acquired, in relation to the way of life, the diet, the environmental factors, and so.
This report tries to contrast opinions. The aim is to know if today’s youths are informed, and if they are worried about myocardial infarction and its risk factors. For this purpose, I have run 82 surveys; to 42 youngsters from Barcelona and to 40 youngsters from Cáceres, being an average 18 years old. The report proves that there are no significant differences between these communities, excepting diet and tobacco.
