Propuesta de estrategia preventiva para el asma bronquial: estudio de gemelos / A proposal of a preventive strategy for bronchial asthmaPropuesta de estrategia preventiva para el asma bronquial: estudio de gemelos / A proposal of a preventive strategy for bronchial asthmaEl Asma Bronquial es una enfermedad crónica con herencia multifactorial, que constituye un problema de salud en todo el mundo, con una tendencia a incrementar su morbimortalidad. Con el objetivo de proponer una estrategia de prevención para esta enfermedad se realizó una investigación epidemiológica, analítica, y transversal (sobre gemelos y Asma Bronquial) incluido como parte del programa de desarrollo de la Genética Médica en Cuba en el municipio de Pinar del Río, provincia Pinar del Río (Cuba). Esta permitió hacer una caracterización clínica-epidemiológica y genealógica de la enfermedad en gemelos con al menos, un miembro afecto e identificar que los factores genéticos contribuyen en un 72%, al origen del Asma Bronquial en este medio, determinado por los estudios de concordancia y cálculo de su heredabilidad, teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de los gemelos comparten el mismo ambiente. En el contexto de la investigación fue elaborada y propuesta una Estrategia de Salud dirigido a la prevención y mejora de la calidad de vida de las personas que padecen Asma Bronquial, contando para ello con los recursos que aporta el Sistema de Salud en Cuba y el apoyo de la sociedad organizada. Palabras clave: ASMA BRONQUIAL/prevención, ENFERMEDADES RESPIRATORIAS, GEMELOS, ESTRATEGIA. ABSTRACT Bronchial Asthma is a chronic disease with multifactorial inheritance that constitutes a health problem all over the world, having an increasing morbidity and mortality rate. Aimed at suggesting a strategy for the prevention of this disease an epidemiological, analytical and cross-sectional research (about bronchial asthma and twins) was conducted and included as a part of the program for the development of Medical Genetics in Cuba, Pinar del Rio municipality (Cuba). This research allowed making a clinical-epidemiological and genealogical characterization of this disease, with at least one member affected as well as to identify that genetic factors contribute with 72% of the disease origin in this environment, determining it by means of the studies of concordance and inheritance; taking into consideration that the majority of the twins share the same environment. During the research a Health Strategy was created aimed at preventing and improving the quality of life of people who suffer from Bronchial Asthma, supported on the resources of the Cuban Health System and the organization of the society. Key words: ASTHMA, prevention, RESPIRATORY TRACT DESEASES, TWINS, STRATEGY.
