RESUMO

Introduction. Dyslipidemia like other chronic degenerative diseases is pandemic in Latin America and around the world. A lot of patients asking for body contouring surgery can be sick without knowing it. Objective. Observe the lipid profile of patients with dyslipidemia, before and three months after an abdominoplasty. Methods. Patients candidate to an abdominoplasty without morbid obesity were followed before and three months after the surgery. We compared the lipid profile, glucose, insulin, and HOMA (cardiovascular risk marker) before and three months after the surgery. We used Student's t test to compare the results. A P value less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results. Twenty-six patients were observed before and after the surgery. At the third month, we found only statistical differences in LDL and triglyceride values (P 0.04 and P 0.03). The rest of metabolic values did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion. In this group of patients with dyslipidemia, at the third month, only LDL and triglyceride values reached statistical significances. There is no significant change in glucose, insulin, HOMA, cholesterol, VLDL, or HDL.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Headache is one of the most frequently reported disorders in the general adult population. Despite the fact that this disorder is common, no official estimate of the prevalence of headache exists in Puerto Rico. PURPOSE: To examine the prevalence of headache and migraine, specifically, in Puerto Rico. METHODS: A telephone survey of 1610 individuals was conducted. The telephone calls were distributed using the 1990 census adjusted to the population of Puerto Rico in 1998, and according to gender, geographical area, and age. RESULTS: The prevalence of headache in Puerto Rico was 35.9% and migraine, in particular, 13.0%. When prevalence was fractionated by age, gender, and geographical areas, the prevalence of headache was similar for all ages, with females exhibiting a 2:1 preponderance over males. In the younger population (between 20 and 50 years of age), the female-male ratio for migraine was 3:1, and the prevalence for migraine was lower in the Metropolitan area. CONCLUSION: This study, the first of its type in Puerto Rico, demonstrates that headache (and migraine specifically) is a common disorder in this country.
