Both genders were found in a similar proportion, with ages between 27 and 59 years, a higher prevalence of AHT and DM in the male gender, low prevalence in the consumption of cigarettes and alcohol, however sedentary lifestyle presented a ata prevalence, especially in women, which is related to your BMI. Statistical differences were found between cardiovascular predictors.
