Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with cardiovascular risk in teachers in a private university in Colombia. Materials and methodsWe performed a descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical phase. Probabilistic sampling was performed by proportional fixation with 104 full-time teachers who met the inclusion criteria. ResultsThere were 55 women (52.9%) and 49 men (47.1%). A statistically significant relationship was found with age (p=.001) with an OR 0.351, and with body mass index (p=.000) with an OR 6.071, establishing that altered body mass index conferred a 6-fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease. ConclusionBody mass index is a constant variable in terms of the relationship with the occurrence of cardiovascular disease, which reflects individuals’ lifestyle.
