title: [Baseline characteristics and clinical management of the first 3,000 patients enrolled in the IBERICAN study (Identification of the Spanish population at cardiovascular and renal risk)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular risk factors in Spain, as well as cardiovascular events, in Spanish adult population attended in primary care.
  
  
  METHODS
  IBERICAN is a longitudinal, observational, multicenter study in which patients aged 18 to 85years attended in primary care health center in Spain are being included. The obtained cohort will be followed annually for at least 5years. The estimated final sample is 7,000 patients. The baseline characteristics of the second cut (n=3,042) are presented.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean age of the subjects included is 57.9±14.6 years, and 55.5% are women. 54.9% live in urban habitat, and 57.3% have primary education. 50.3% had dyslipidemia, 47.4% hypertension, 29.7% physical inactivity, 28.2% abdominal obesity and 19% diabetes mellitus. The degree of control of hypertension, dyslipidemia and type2 diabetes was 58.5%, 25.8% and 75.9%. 28.2% have criteria for metabolic syndrome. 15.6% of patients had previous cardiovascular disease. 7.8% have a history of coronary heart disease, a glomerular filtration rate <60ml/min (CKD-EPI) 8.4%, microalbuminuria 9.6%, atrial fibrillation 5.5%, stroke 4.6%, and heart failure 2.9%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although the population treated in primary care is relatively young, the high prevalence of risk factors, their poor control and the existence of previous cardiovascular disease will determine the impact on the prognosis of the cohort.
