AB  - To analyze the nutritional and metabolic risk factors for Cardiovascular Diseases 
      (CVD) present in a group of people in the city of Maracaibo a study was performed 
      with 209 volunteers (145 women and 64 men) between 20 and 89 years of age who 
      underwent: a) Anthropometric Evaluation: Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-to-Hip 
      Ratio (WHR) and Physical Examination: Systolic (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure 
      (DBP); b) Dietetic Evaluation (24 hours recall), and c) Biochemical Evaluation: 
      Glycemia (GLYC), Triglycerides (TG), Total Cholesterol (CHOL), HDL-C, LDL-C and 
      VLDL-C, applying enzymatic methods. It was also investigated, their Age, Family 
      History of Metabolic Alterations (FHMA), physical activity, smoking habits and 
      alcohol consumption. More than 50% of the individuals showed a BMI > 25; 64% of 
      women showed a WHR value > 0.8; 34 and 28% of men and women respectively had a 
      high fat ingestion (HFI); 36% of men had hypertriglyceridemia and high levels of 
      VLDL-C; 41% of women and 30% of men showed decreased HDL-C. A high frequency of 
      FHMA was found in 85% of women and 78% of men followed by sedentary life in 64% 
      of men and 79% of women. The age significantly (p < 0.05) affected the values for 
      WHR, SBP, DBP, GLYC, CHOL, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and VLDL-C. The dietetic evaluation 
      showed a diet that was low in calories, high in protein, normal in fat and low in 
      carbohydrates. It is concluded that the population elected for this study might 
      be considered under a high risk for CVD, since both nutritional and metabolic 
      factors, as well as the other risk factors analyzed, were present in a high 
      percentage of the individuals studied.
