[The relationships between cholesterol and arterial pressure in the Málaga-86 study. Something more than a casual association?].
The frequent association of this vascular risk factors implies not just a potentiation of the vascular risk, but also the need for a wider therapeutical approach on this patients not only regarding the control of the arterial hypertension but also other risk factors. After a cross-sectional study of the prevalence of various vascular risk factors in the province of Málaga (Spain), we analysed the results as for the cholesterolemia and blood pressure in normotensives and hypertensives. In the hypertensive population we observed a tendency to present a higher levels of cholesterol as well as a higher prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (p less than 0.001); on the other hand, hypercholesterolemic people versus normocholesterolemics showed similar data related to their blood pressure and prevalence of hypertension. Finally we discussed the likely etiopathogenetic interrelationships between both vascular risk factors.
