Abstract

Introduction: There is a lack of studies comparing cardiovascular risk markers between urban and rural populations in specific local contexts.

Objective: To establish differences between rural and urban populations regarding early cardiovascular risk markers in adults from the municipality of El Carmen de Chucurí.

Method: A quantitative, non-experimental research design was conducted. From a total population of 20,500 inhabitants, a random sample of 815 sedentary subjects aged 18 to 40 years was selected (406 from rural areas and 409 from urban areas). Body Mass Index (BMI), body composition, handgrip strength, and blood pressure were assessed as early markers of cardiovascular risk.

Results: Men in the rural sector showed lower values for BMI (25.11 kg/m²) and body fat percentage (23.11%) compared to the urban sector (BMI: 25.46 kg/m²; body fat: 25.48%). Regarding blood pressure, rural men recorded a mean of 130.26 mmHg (systolic) and 82.04 mmHg (diastolic), while urban men showed 127.83 mmHg and 79.46 mmHg, respectively. In handgrip strength, urban men presented better results than rural men in both the right hand (44.96 kg vs. 43.44 kg) and the left hand (43.53 kg vs. 42.36 kg). Women in the urban sector also showed higher values compared to those in the rural sector (right hand: 28.11 kg vs. 27.70 kg; left hand: 27.56 kg vs. 27.31 kg).

Conclusions: The population of Carmen de Chucurí presented homogeneous characteristics regarding cardiovascular risk markers when comparing rural and urban groups, with no significant clinical differences between them.
