La actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse” del municipio Mariel / Physical activity and cardiovascular risk in the community “Orlando Nodarse” of Mariel municipality La actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse” del municipio Mariel / Physical activity and cardiovascular risk in the community “Orlando Nodarse” of Mariel municipalityObjetivo: describir los factores de riesgo cardiovascular y el grado de asociación entre la inactividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular global estimado.Materiales y Métodos: se realizó un estudio explicativo de observacional de casos y controles, entre enero ynoviembre del 2017, en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse”. Se trabajó una población de 488 individuos con edades entre 50 y 69 años, se obtuvo una muestra de 224 pacientes. Fue aplicado como método teórico el análisis documental y como métodos empíricos sendos cuestionarios para obtener datos relativos a la existencia de factores de riesgo y elnivel de actividad física, mediciones antropométricas, de presión arterial y determinaciones de glicemia y colesterol total. La estimación del riesgo cardiovascular se realizó utilizando las tablas de riesgo de la OMS/ISH. La variable de independencia fue el nivel de inactividad física, como variable de respuesta el riesgo cardiovascular global. Fue utilizado para determinar la asociación de variables el coeficiente de contingencia, con un nivel de significación estadística de 0,05.Resultados: se demostró alta prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascular y la asociación entre el bajo nivel de actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular global.Conclusiones: existe asociación entre el bajo nivel de actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular elevado; fueron elconsumo de tabaco y la hipertensión arterial los factores de riesgo cardiovascular más frecuentes.ABSTRACTObjective: to describe the cardiovascular risk factors and the degree of association between physical inactivity and the estimated global cardiovascular risk. Materials and Methods: an observational observational study of cases and controls was conducted between January and November 2017, in the “Orlando Nodarse” community. A population of 488 individuals aged between 50 and 69 years was studied, a sample of 224 patients was obtained. The documentary analysis was applied as a theoretical method and as empirical methods two questionnaires to obtain data related to the existence of risk factors and the level of physical activity, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and determinations of glycemia and total cholesterol. The estimation of cardiovascular risk was performed using the WHO / ISH risk tables. The independence variable was the level of physical inactivity, as a response variable the global cardiovascular risk. Force used to determine the association of variables the coefficient of contingency, with a level of statistical significance of 0.05.Results: high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and the association between low level of physical activity and global cardiovascular risk were demonstrated.Conclusions: there is an association between low level of physical activity and high cardiovascular risk; tobacco consumption and high blood pressure were the most frequent cardiovascular risk factors.Keywords: cadiovascular risk; cardiovascular disease; cardiovascular prevention; physical activity.

Materiales y métodos: se empleó una muestra de 97 estudiantes de ambos años de la carrera: 32 (21%) de primero y 65 (42%) de segundo. Se aplicaron, para la revelación de los datos, los cuestionarios: Global de Actividad Física en la determinación del nivel de actividad física; Quiz de las barreras a la actividad física, para determinar las barreras y, la Escala de Estrés percibido en la determinación del estrés percibido por los participantes. Resultados: expresan que 72,9 estudiantes de la muestra (75,2%) tienen un bajo nivel de actividad física.  El 62,5% consumió medicamentos de manera continua y el 100% de manera discontinua en el último mes. Se percibieron como barreras para las prácticas: falta de tiempo (67%), de voluntad (54%) y de energía (53%). De acuerdo con la escala establecida, percibieron los niveles de estrés: bajo (43,3%), medio (32,9%) y alto, el 23,7% de los alumnos. Conclusiones: La investigación constituye un resultado parcial del proyecto “Andando” que se despliega en la institución para promover la actividad física. Los hallazgos obtenidos pueden contribuir al perfeccionamiento del sistema sanitario de la institución y justifican, en buena medida, los esfuerzos que emanan del proyecto investigativo en que se insertan, en aras de contribuir a perfeccionar el sistema de salud existente en la institución.ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the level of physical activity of the students of the Latin American School of Medicine and of factors associated with it such as barriers, perceived stress and consumption of medications Materials and methods: a sample of 97 students of both years of the race was used: 32 (21%) of first and 65 (42%) of second. The questionnaires were applied for the revelation of the data: Global Physical Activity in determining the level of physical activity; Quiz of the barriers to physical activity, to determine the barriers and, the Stress Scale perceived in the determination of the perceived stress by the participants Results: they express that 72.9 students of the sample (75.2%) have a low level of physical activity. 62.5% consumed drugs continuously and 100% discontinuously in the last month. They were perceived as barriers to practices: lack of time (67%), lack of will (54%) and lack of energy (53%). According to the established scale, they perceived stress levels: low (43.3%), medium (32.9%) and high, 23.7% of the students.
