- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoFactores de riesgo modificables asociados a hipertensión arterial(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Bermeo Fernandez, Marcelo Alexander; Garcés Ortega, Juan Pablo; 0704611318; ., .Introduction: Arterial hypertension is considered a worldwide disease and a direct risk factor for several health conditions which present a high mortality rate; it presents a significant challenge for public health in this country; there are risk factors associated with arterial hypertension that are usually classified into two types, modifiable and non-modifiable. The first group includes certain habits that tend to aggravate the condition; if they are identified in time and treated promptly, the consequences of hypertension can notably be reduced. Among the most common are excessive salt, caffeine, and alcohol consumption, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and an unhealthy diet that leads to hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and non-modifiable risk factors. General objective: to determine the modifiable risk factors associated with arterial hypertension. Methodology: a bibliographic review was carried out in which different databases were used, all linked to health areas. In particular 4 journals, Elsevier, PubMEd, Sciencedirect. Only scientific articles from these platforms were taken into account and very strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied in order to optimize the selection of articles. To process the data, the PRISMA guides of the year 2020 were used, which in turn uses the PICO method for a better data extraction management of said articles. Results: A total of 31 articles that met all the inclusion and exclusion criteria were used. The content of which, moreover, was perfectly matched to the specific objectives previously defined. Conclusions: Prevalence data regarding modifiable risk factors are usually shown in studies independently of each risk factor. For example, excessive salt intake, alcohol and tobacco consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle are the most common risk factors and usually present in figures greater than 40% of hypertensive patients.
