Introducción: El Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) es clave para evaluar el riesgo de Enfermedad Arterial Coronaria (EAC). Sin embargo, la “paradoja de la obesidad” plantea que un IMC elevado no siempre implica mayor riesgo. El Score SYNTAX mide la complejidad de la EAC considerando la ubicación, extensión y características de las lesiones coronarias. Analizar la relación entre IMC y Score SYNTAX puede ofrecer una comprensión más profunda sobre cómo el exceso de peso influye en la gravedad de las lesiones coronarias, optimizando la evaluación del riesgo cardiovascular. Dada la alta prevalencia de obesidad y mortalidad por EAC, es fundamental explorar esta interacción en mayor detalle. Objetivos: Determinar la existencia de una asociación significativa entre el IMC y la complejidad de la EAC. Un objetivo secundario es evaluar la utilidad del IMC como predictor de la severidad ...

Abstract   Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not use efficiently the insulin it produces. According to the ENDES 2013, it has found a prevalence of overweight of 33.8% and obesity of 18.3%. Objective: Determine the results of the risk test for diabetes mellitus type 2 of the American Diabetes Society in the care and administrative personnel of a particular clinic. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional, analytical study that evaluates the probability of workers suffering from diabetes mellitus. The population of the study will be made up of workers, both clinical and administrative staff of the institution. Results: 34% of the population had normal BMI, 49% were overweight and 18.3% were obese. 15% of the studied population is at risk of developing diabetes mellitus type 2 according to the risk test for...
