Gender and Health, Cardiovascular diseases, Risk FactorsAbstract
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are not unique to either men or women, so that it is important to know what differences exist between the sexes, since it is a fact that the physical and psychosocial problems that distinguish them can influence the various areas of their health, particularly cardiovascular health.
Objectives: To identify gender differences in a sample of people with heart disease.
Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional study with descriptive and multivariate data analysis using logistic regression.
Results: The data indicated that women are more anxious (OR = 2.78; p = 0.018), have low perceived control (OR = 3.06; p = 0.008), do not smoke (OR = 4.41; p = 0.028) and do not drink alcoholic beverages (OR = 5.67; p = 0.000).
Conclusions: Nurses should be aware that gender differences between men and women make mean they differ in terms of cardiovascular risk. For this reason, they should be aware of the need to identify the factors that can influence the risk and
define and implement interventions that reduce this risk for each gender.
