Inequidades en enfermedades cardiovasculares en Latinoamérica

Abstract

En países de altos ingresos el efecto de las inequidades sociales en los riesgos de enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) se encuentra bien documentado. En Latinoamérica se ha realizado amplias discusiones teóricas y conceptuales sobre el efecto de las inequidades sociales en salud, sin embargo, la investigación empírica ha sido limitada. En el presente artículo, se resumen los trabajos empíricos recientes sobre las inequidades sociales y el riesgo de ECV en Latinoamérica y se resalta las principales necesidades en materia de investigación, al igual que las implicaciones para su prevención. Aunque mucho se desconoce acerca de los patrones sociales de las ECV en Latinoamérica, los pocos estudios disponibles hasta la fecha indican que las inequidades sociales en los riesgos de ECV varían de acuerdo a la población, a los indicadores de nivel socioeconómico, al igual que a los indicadores de riesgo de enfermedad. Las mayores inequidades sociales se observan entre mujeres en áreas urbanas y se relacionan con obesidad, diabetes y dieta. Pocos estudios se han realizado en algunas partes de Latinoamérica y en países de Centroamérica y del norte de Suramérica. Los sistemas de registro civil, estadísticas vitales y las encuestas representativas a nivel nacional sobre factores de riesgo pueden constituirse en fuentes importantes de datos, mientras se recoge información sobre los indicadores socioeconómicos. Los estudios longitudinales también son importantes para investigar los factores que conducen a las inequidades sociales. En la medida en que se implementen políticas y estrategias de prevención para reducir las ECV en Latinoamérica, también se deben investigar los factores que generan inequidades sociales en el riesgo de ECV.
