Hello. My name is Margaret Conte, and I'm going to
- 00:03 - 00:07
speak about my thesis work on the relationship between body
- 00:07 - 00:11
mass index and cardiovascular risk in urban resource poor communities
- 00:12 - 00:12
in Lima, Peru.
- 00:16 - 00:20
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally, and
- 00:20 - 00:24
we know that high blood pressure, abnormal blood lipids and
- 00:25 - 00:30
overweight or obesity are risk factors that are related to
- 00:30 - 00:31
cardiovascular disease.
- 00:32 - 00:36
Yeah, when we can identify the presence of risk factors
- 00:37 - 00:41
in an individual, we can minimize preventable cardiovascular disease related
- 00:41 - 00:51
deaths. In summer of 2019, I was fortunate to join
- 00:51 - 00:56
the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, um, on their trip
- 00:56 - 00:59
to Lima, Peru, and participate in pop up clinics.
- 01:00 - 01:04
Um, where people could come and optionally have their data
- 01:05 - 01:06
included in the study.
- 01:06 - 01:09
So the data I collected for this study was on
- 01:09 - 01:14
age biological sex, height, weight, blood pressure, HB a one
- 01:14 - 01:19
C total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, triglycerides and low density
- 01:19 - 01:28
lipoprotein. For my research, I wanted participants to be over
- 01:28 - 01:31
18 and have a complete data set, um, in the
- 01:31 - 01:36
table, you can see the participants described on each of
- 01:37 - 01:39
the cardiovascular risk variables.
- 01:45 - 01:49
I analyzed the data using IBM SP SS version 27.
- 01:50 - 01:55
Um, I expressed the descriptive statistics as mean plus or
- 01:55 - 01:55
minus standard deviation.
- 01:56 - 02:00
And I did this, uh, for the whole population broken
- 02:00 - 02:03
down by sex and broken down by weight status.
- 02:05 - 02:09
I plan to use a novas to determine differences in
- 02:09 - 02:11
the variables by sex and by weight status.
- 02:12 - 02:15
And I also plan to examine the relationship between B.
- 02:15 - 02:18
M I and the variables using Pearson.
- 02:18 - 02:26
Correlation. Finally, I want to thank you.
- 02:26 - 02:27
Think, doctor.
- 02:27 - 02:28
How? And Dr.
- 02:29 - 02:30
Drastic for their help with this work.
- 02:31 - 02:35
Um, Doctor Droz sick leads the trip down to Peru
- 02:36 - 02:36
every year.
- 02:37 - 02:40
Um and Doctor, how helped me write this paper?
