Association between atherogenic dyslipidemia and lipid triad with cardiovascular risk scales in 418.343 Spanish workers

Introduction and objectives: Cardiovascular diseases in their genesis generally present an anatomopathological process such as atherosclerosis. Atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) and lipid triad (TL) are parameters that can predict the appearance of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between AD and LT with different cardiovascular risk (CVR) scales. Material and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in a large sample of Spanish workers, specifically 418343, in which the presence or absence of AD and TL was assessed. Different CVR scales such as REGICOR, SCORE 2, ERICE and vascular age were also determined using the Framingham and SCORE criteria. Results: The mean values of all CVR scales and the prevalence of elevated values of these scales are higher in both AD and TL. The scale that most increases the risk of presenting both AD and TL is ALLY of Framingham vascular age. The CVR scales, in general, have a low predictive power for both AD and TL. Conclusions: There is a good association between the CVR scales analyzed and AD and TL. The value of these CVR scales for predicting AD and TL is low, with the exception of ALLY with the Framingham criteria.
