(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-26) Del Castillo Vidal, Giuliana Rosa; León Cáceres, Johanna del Carmen
Objective: To determine the effect of lycopene on total cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia at a hospital in Lima in 2017. Quantitative study with an analytical, longitudinal, and prospective design. Sample: Comprised of patients with hypercholesterolemia from the Nutrition clinic. Lycopene was administered through a preparation based on tomato juice with olive oil, which was macerated for approximately 8 hours before being consumed on an empty stomach. The study included 50 patients, 21 received tomato juice with olive oil (TJO) and their usual diet, 14 patients only received tomato juice (TJ) with their usual diet, and 15 received only nutritional counseling regarding a 1,000-calorie diet (D). Differences were found between the first and second cholesterol measurements for the tomato juice and olive oil preparations (p=0.000) and the Diet (p=0.006). No differences were demonstrated between the groups. According to the study, the tomato juice and olive oil preparation and the diet had an effect on cholesterol levels; these recommendations would support patients with cardiovascular diseases and dyslipidemias.

Prevalence of prediabetes according to ADA criteria and cholesterol and triglyceride levels in an occupational health clinic in the district of Lima - 2017
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-09-07) Damian Salazar, Juan José; Ibañez Purizaga, Arlette; Sandoval Vegas, Miguel Hernán
The prevalence of prediabetes by sex is more common in males (9.2%). Hypercholesterolemia was found in 11.1%, and hypertriglyceridemia in 20% of prediabetic patients. A relationship was observed between prediabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia in male patients. The prevalence of prediabetes was compared according to the criteria established by the ADA (American Diabetes Association) and the WHO (World Health Organization), and there was a statistically significant difference between them (Fisher's exact test, p=0.0001), showing that there is a higher prevalence of prediabetes according to the ADA's criteria. Conclusion: Prediabetes has a higher prevalence according to the ADA's criteria, and there is a relationship between it and hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia in an occupational health clinic in Lima district, 2017.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Rodríguez Gómez, Orestes; Guia Quintanilla, Amparo Monica; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Establish the risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction in users of emergency services. Materials and methods; A systematic review was carried out, which synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations. They are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of clinical practice. Results: Articles located in the Scielo, Dialnet, Lilacs, Lipecs and Cochrane databases were included in the systematic review, with cross-sectional research designs, 12 scientific articles systematically reviewed on the risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction in treated users. in emergency, 17% (2) corresponds to Chile, 8% (1) to Colombia, 17% (2) to Mexico, 8% (1) to the United States United States, 8% (1) to India, 17% (2) to Brazil, 8% (1) to Burkina Faso, and 17% (2) to Uruguay, all of them framed in the 12 research articles. Conclusions: Factors such as obesity, hypercholesterolemia, age, overweight (waist-hip ratio) and low HDL concentrations are associated with the presence of Acute Myocardial Infarction in adults treated in Emergency Units, Hypercholesterolemia is the most important risk factor associated with IMA in adults, the factors associated with the presence of IMA are lifestyle and social behavior. In young people, the associated risk factors are tobacco, present in 76.78%, the 12 articles reviewed show us that coronary heart disease and acute myocardial infarction in particular continue to be a very important public health problem in Latin American countries.

Risk factors associated with high blood pressure in adult patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Apolinario Páez, Patricia Nohemi; Cano Churampi, Jessica Sonia; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Determine the risk factors associated with high blood pressure in adult patients. Materials and methods: Systematic investigations are an observational and retrospective research design that synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations, which are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to its rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of the clinical practice. Results: The scientific articles included in the systematic review on the risk factors associated with hypertension in adults were found in the following databases Lipecs, Lilacs Scielo and Medline, all of them correspond to the type and design of cross-sectional studies. The studies reviewed show that the risk factors associated with high blood pressure are obesity, hypercholesterolemia, age, overweight, low HDL concentrations and an inadequate lifestyle. Conclusions: The risk factors associated with high blood pressure are obesity, hypercholesterolemia, age, overweight, low HDL concentrations and inadequate lifestyle. Interventions to control high blood pressure are to achieve the maximum reduction in the total long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This process should be based on primary prevention and early detection of all identified reversible risk factors and management. adequate of the associated clinical conditions such as the increase in blood pressure itself.

Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in children and adolescents
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Carpio Alvarado, Sendy Paola; González Nolasco, Celia Charito; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Systematize and analyze the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the results of primary research are synthesized, identifying relevant studies. The population constituted by the bibliographic review is 10 scientific articles published and indexed in scientific databases. The analysis is made up of the preparation of a summary table with the main data of each of the selected articles. Results: Of the 10 articles analyzed, we found that 20% of the research found correspond to Argentina, Cuba and Brazil each, 10% to Peru, Guatemala, Chile and Mexico each, the analyzed studies are quantitative descriptive in 30 %, cross-sectional quantitative in 30%, cohort analytical in 20%, experimental in 10%, and correlational quantitative in 10%. Conclusions: In the articles studied, several modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in adolescents were found, the most common are obesity, increased abdominal circumference, and overweight (70%), which are related to sedentary lifestyle, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, smoking and alcoholism, which interact with each other, generating and enhancing damage to health.
