Objective: To analyze the cardiovascular risk profile of the persons older than 65 years of age who participated in different "Days on Cho - lesterol and Atherosclerosis" organized during 1999 in different towns of the province of Salamanca. Material and methods: The volunteers of any age were subjected to a questionnaire and to several clinical and laboratory measurements. Results: The age of 267 volunteers (40.8% males) attending the cam- paign was 65 years. The mean values of the studied parameters were: age = 72.3±6.5 years; body mass index (BMI) = 26.8±4.5 kg/m 2 ; systolic blood pressure (SBP) = 139.8±20.6 mmHg; dyastolic blood pressure (DBP) = 80.0± 10.1 mmHg; and total cholesterol (TC) = 226.2±44.9 mg/dl. The percentage of smoking habit was 5.2%. The figures of SBP showed positive significant correlation with those of age (p < 0.05) and DBP (p < 0.01). Among males, the age evolved inversely to the numbers of TC (p < 0.01). Globally, 203 volunteers (76.0%) had concentrations of TC 200 mg/dl; 78 (29.2%) 250 mg/dl; and 12 (4.5%) concentra- tions 300 mg/dl. We detected blood pressure levels of SBP 140 mmHg in 143 (53.6%) individuals; SBP 180 mmHg in 11 (4.1%); DBP 90 mmHg in 72 (27.0%); and DBP 110 mmHg in 4 (1.5%). The BMI was 30 kg/m 2 in 54 (20.2%) people of the study. 90.8% of the volunteers with previous cardiovascular disease carried, at least, another not con- trolled cardiovascular risk factor; 24.1% had at least two risk factors; and 9.1% had, at least, three. In 38.5% they showed high levels of TC and DBP, simultaneously. Conclusions: Our data, together with the current evidences about the benefit of the control of cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly, sug- gest the necessity to establish strategies for a better control of the car- diovascular risk in this group of age in our province.
