Item Fuerza muscular y composición corporal relacionada al riesgo cardiovascular en población universitaria(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Tejada González, David Stiven https://orcid.org/0009-0009-0602-8702; Rosales Mora, Esnedy Yaney https://orcid.org/0009-0007-2266-9484; Delgado Bejarano, Ardani https://orcid.org/0009-0008-4501-0882; Vitery Ramos, Jenny (Director)The distribution of body adiposity and muscle strength has been shown to be directly related to the risk of cardiovascular disease, with excess adiposity, especially visceral fat, being an important factor in the development of diabetes, metabolic disease and cardiovascular disease. Recent studies show that there is a relationship between handgrip strength with overall muscle strength and good metabolic status. This study sought to establish the relationship between muscle strength and variations in body composition with cardiovascular risk in adults, in a sample selected between May and October 2022. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included a sample of 162 subjects, 63% women, aged 18 to 80 years. Weight, height, abdominal perimeter, hip perimeter, fat percentage by Bioelectrical Impedancemetry, grip strength and respiratory muscle strength with Pimax were measured. Differences in proportions were determined using the Chi2 test and mean difference with the t student test. Univariate associations were estimated between cardiovascular risk and the variables of interest: body composition and respiratory muscle strength, evaluating whether there were statistically significant differences in the Prevalence Ratios (PR). estimated by subpopulations. A significance level of 0.05 and a reliability level of 95% were established for all statistical tests to contrast hypotheses. Statistical analysis was performed using Epidat 3.1 software. Results: A Conicity Index greater than 1.2 was shown to be a powerful risk factor associated with a cardiovascular event, being aged >60 years and also having a clinical history that significantly increases mortality (p<0.05), in the waist hip index it was observed that the cardiovascular risk is 0.50 times greater in 83.6% of the female sex. Regarding sex, the increase in abdominal perimeter in men showed a significant increase (p<0.05) related to cardiovascular risk. The decrease in grip strength had a greater impact in the female sex 95.6%, with values below the predicted <16.0 kg (p= 0.001). Conclusions: Body composition, grip strength and respiratory muscle strength variables are closely related to cardiovascular risk, with the risk being higher in women
