Impacto de la Occidentalización sobre factores de riesgo cardiovascular en inmigrantes asiáticos residentes en el Norte Grande de Chile
2009
Antecedentes: Existen pocos estudios clinicos que muestren la relacion entre la migracion de poblaciones y el aumento en enfermedades cardiovasculares. Objetivo: Comparar factores de riesgo cardiovascular (FRCV) entre colonias chinas (CHI) e indias (IND) residentes en Chile. Metodologia: Estudio analitico-descriptivo, transversal. Se analizo a la colonia china (n=43) e india (n=41), incluyendo a los residentes en Chile por mas de dos anos. Se rnidio: peso, talla, perimetro de cintura (PC), indice de masa corporal (IMC), presion arterial, sedentarismo, habitos alimentarios, trastornos depresivo y ansiosos, y adiccion a! tabaco, ademas de examen psiquiatrico segun DMS-IV Se midieron niveles plasmaticos de trigliceridos, colesterol, hormonas tiroideas, glicemia en ayunas y post-prandial, insulinemia basal y post -sobre carga de glucosa. Analisis Estadistico: T de student, Chi cuadrado. Resultados: Encontramos un peso promedio de 71 +/- 10 en IND v/s 66 +/- 14 kg en CHI, PC 89 +/- 11 v/s 79 +/- 12 cm, IMC 27 +/- 4 v/s 24 4, colesterol total 201 +/- 41 v/s 180 +/-35 mg/dl, colesterol HDL 43 +/- 11 v/s48 +/- 13 mg/dl, Colesterol LDL 125 +/- 33 v/s 107 29 mg/dl, TSH 7.3 +/- 6 v/s 1.8 +/- 1.2 uUl +/-ml, Insulinemia post-prandial 93 +/- 89 v/s 39 +/- 34 Ul/mI, respectivame+/-nte, ademas de sedentarismo 11 en IND v/s 2 en CHI, habitos alimentarios sanos 26 v/s 39, beber problema 20 v/s 34, adiccion al tabaco 8 v/s 17, Sindrome Metabolico 14 v/s 6, siendo todas estas diferencias significativas. En ambos grupos no se encontraron trastornos depresivos ni ansiosos. Conclusiones: Encontramos un serio impacto del fenomeno migratorio en FRCV de IND, lo que impulse a fomentar cambios en estilos de vida de esa poblacion. Es notable la ausencia de patologias depresivas y ansiosas en ambos grupos. Background: few clinical studies show a relation between migration and an increase prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Aim: to study the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, including the metabolic syndrome, in Indian and Chinese natives flying in Chile for more than 2 years. Methods: Subjects from either Indian or Chinese origin living in Chile for more than 2 years were evaluated for the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. Wight. height, girth index, body mass index, blood pressure. degree of sedentarism, type of foods and pattern of eating and smoking habits were determined. Plasma lipid, thyroid hormone, fasting and post glucose load (75g) sugar and insulin levels were determined. DSM IV was used to evaluate subjects for the presence of depression or anxiety. Students t test and chi square tests at and alpha level of 5 percent were used to determine statistical significance, as appropriate. Results: Significant differences between the Indian and Chinese groups were, respectively: weight (71.4 vs 66.5, p
