Abstract
Objectives: Hypertension (HTN), obesity and low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with an increased risk of a cardiovascular event. Taking part overweight/obese individuals with HTN the aims of the current study were: to estimate cardiovascular risk (CVR) and vascular age (VA) profiles analyzing potential sex differences; to determine whether VA is higher than chronological age (CA) and, whether CVR is associated with a low level of CRF. Methods: Overweight/obese non-Hispanic white participants (n=209; 141 men and 68 women) with primary HTN had their CVR and VA determined using the New Pooled Cohort Risk Equations and The Framingham method, respectively. Considering values of peak oxygen uptake, participants were divided into tertiles for each sex. Results: The CVR, but not VA (p=0.339), was higher (p<0.001) in men compared to women irrespective of age. Irrespective of sex VA was higher than CA (p<0.001). Age and body mass index were higher (p<0.05) in the low CRF group compared to other groups. There were no differences in CVR (p=0.907) and VA (p=1.643) when values were separated into CRF groups. Conclusions: Pooled Cohort Equations could underestimate the risk of suffering a cardiovascular event in the following 10 years in overweight/obese non-Hispanic white women with HTN compared to men. The VA appears to be a useful tool in communicating CVR in this population irrespective of sex. The CRF alone may not be enough to moderate the CVR.
