Objective. To determine the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and its association to factors of risk like hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, age and duration of the diabetes. Material and methods: It was carried out a prospective, observational and analytic study in the Instituto Nacional de Oftalmología of Lima, from August 1 2000 to January 30 2001. The state retinal was evaluated by means of the exam of bottom of eye previous glycemia compensation. The patients were randomized in two groups: patients with retinopathy and without retinopathy. The samples of blood and urinates they were taken to determine glycemia, HbA1c glycosidic, profile lipidic, urea, creatinine, creatinine purification and proteinuria. Results. It was studied 97 cases, 45 males and 52 women, and it was observed that the prevalence of ophthalmologic retinopathy in patients diabetic type 2 were it was 58,8% (53% ...

Cardiovascular diseases rank fourth place of disease burden in Peru, and in the last 7 years, the population of high cardiovascular risk has increased. Objective: Determine the cardiovascular risk and vascular age according to the Framingham score in patients attending the "Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza", as well as to determine the most prevalent factor. Furthermore, to determine the clinical characteristics of patients with mild and high risk. Material and Methods: This is a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study. 238 hospitalized patients in internal medicine wards were surveyed. Variables such as age, gender, diabetes, smoking, BMI and blood pressure were considered. The data were analyzed using SPSS v.21.
