    La investigación se efectuó sobre los docentes de una entidad de Educación Superior de la Provincia de Tungurahua cuya finalidad fue caracterizar el perfil de riesgo cardiovascular, mediante un estudio de tipo observacional transversal con 79 docentes, se realizó: antropometría, perfil lipídico, identificando el riesgo cardiovascular con la escala de Framingham instrumento que mide las probabilidades de sufrir un paro cardíaco en los próximos 10 años, en personas mayores de 20. Se evidenció que un 65,8% de los docentes tiene un bajo riesgo cardiovascular. El valor promedio del IMC fue 23,4 Kg/cm2±2,5 Kg/cm2. La edad del corazón producto del cálculo de los diferentes parámetros fue de 42 años comparado con la edad promedio de los participantes de 40 años. Mediante la herramienta tomada del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social en promedio se obtuvo un riesgo cardiovascular del 3,1%. del total de la población investigada. Entre las actividades de mayor práctica de la población fue la caminata. Gracias a la intervención la institución cumplió con los requisitos institucionales de realizar chequeos ocupacionales en concordancia con los del sistema público que no se habían realizado hasta el momento de la investigación. Con estos resultados la entidad podrá implementar programas de estilos de vida saludable y prevención de enfermedad cardiovascular.The research was carried out on teachers of a Higher Education entity in the Province of Tungurahua whose purpose was to characterize the cardiovascular risk profile, through a cross-sectional observational study with 79 teachers, the following were carried out: anthropometry, lipid profile, identifying the cardiovascular risk with the Framingham scale, an instrument that measures the probability of suffering cardiac arrest in the next 10 years, in people over 20. Low cardiovascular risk was evident in 65.8% of the teachers. The average BMI value was 23.4 Kg/cm2±2.5 Kg/cm2. The heart age resulting from the calculation of the different parameters was 42 years compared to the average age of the participants of 40 years. Using the tool taken from the Mexican Social Security Institute, an average cardiovascular risk of 3.1% was obtained of the total population investigated. Among the activities most practiced by the population was walking. Thanks to the intervention, the institution met the institutional requirements of carrying out occupational checkups in accordance with those of the public system that had not been carried out until the time of the investigation. With these results, the entity will be able to implement healthy lifestyle and cardiovascular disease prevention programs.Recibido: 20-07-2024Aceptado: 29-08-2029Publicado: 01-11-2024
