Brief Summary

Cardiovascular risk factors and disease burden has been showed to affect more deeply to poorer populations. People who live in slums are the most vulnerable subgroup in the populations where, paradoxically scarcity of data exists on risk factors and cardiovascular disease burden. Our study aim to describe the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease burden in a representative sample of an urban slum of Buenos Aires city, using validated questions from the National Risk Factors Survey (edition 2013). Also, the investigators will measure blood pressure and cardiac rate to all study participants.
