Relación del riesgo cardiovascular con el apego terapéutico en el adulto mayor que vive con Hipertensión Arterial en un primer nivel de atención

Cardiovascular risk is the probability of a vascular event occurring in a given period, influenced by individual risk factors for each patient. People with high blood pressure are ten times more likely to have a stroke and five times more likely to develop coronary heart disease. Failure to treat promotes uncontrolled hypertension, which increases cardiovascular risk. This study used the Globorisk scale, which assesses cardiovascular risk, and the Martin Bayarre Brau questionnaire, which measures the degree of therapeutic adherence. To analyze the relationship between the variables, the Pearson coefficient was used with a confidence level of 95% and an error margin of 5%. The sample was composed of 843 people over 60 years old, of both genders, entitled to IMSS in the CDMX. The results showed a Pearson coefficient of -0.1429, with 841 degrees of freedom and a p value of 0.0001. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, indicating a weak negative relationship between cardiovascular risk and treatment adherence in elderly adults with high blood pressure.
