Resumen
Introducción

El aumento de la expectativa de vida ha conducido a que patologías vasculares, especialmente prevalentes en el segmento de población con más edad, se hayan constituido en problemas de salud.

Objetivo

Determinar la prevalencia de la isquemia crónica (IC) y de los aneurismas de aorta abdominal (AAA) infrarrenal en la población mayor de 65 años del Área Sanitaria V (Gijón) del Servicio de Salud del Principado de Asturias.

Pacientes y métodos

Se diseña un estudio descriptivo transversal, incluyendo finalmente 232 pacientes, 114 hombres y 118 mujeres, seleccionados aleatoriamente a partir de los datos de la tarjeta sanitaria. Se les explora, se realiza un eco-Doppler de la aorta abdominal y se calcula el índice tobillo-brazo.

Resultados

La prevalencia de la IC es del 9,9% y de un 2,6% para el AAA. Se desagregan los resultados por sexos y dos grupos de edad, de 65-74 años y mayores de 75. La prevalencia de la IC está seis puntos por encima en el grupo de los mayores de 75 años (13,4%) y la del AAA es más de siete veces superior (5,2%).

Conclusión

La prevalencia es más elevada en los mayores de 75 años y los varones para la IC y el AAA, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Este estudio abre las puertas a un seguimiento de los integrantes de la muestra, que permita determinar la incidencia de las diversas patologías.

Summary
Introduction

As life expectancy has increased, vascular pathologies, which are especially prevalent in the most elderly segment of the population, have become a health problem.

Aim

To determine the prevalence of chronic ischaemia (CI) and infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in a population of persons over 65 years of age from Health Care District V (Gijón) of the Principality of Asturias Health Service.

Patients and methods

A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed, which finally included 232 patients (114 males and 118 females) who were selected at random from the data contained in their health card. They were examined, submitted to a Doppler ultrasound scan of the abdominal aorta and their ankle-brachial index was calculated.

Results

The prevalence of CI was found to be 9.9% and 2.6% for AAA. Results were broken down by sexes and two age groups: 65-74 years and over 75 years of age. The prevalence of CI was six points higher in the group of over 75s (13.4%) and that of AAA was seven times higher (5.2%).

Conclusions

For CI and AAA, prevalence was higher in persons over 75 years old and males, with statistically significant differences. This study opens the way to a follow-up of the participants in the sample, which would allow us to determine the incidence of several different pathologies.
