Resumen
Se diseñó un estudio epidemiológico transversal multicéntrico, en Argentina, con el objetivo de conocer la prevalencia de las conductas y de los factores de riesgo para la enfermedad coronaria en pacientes de 90 años o mayores, así como conocer la posible agregación de estos factores y observar qué hallazgos estarían asociados con la longevidad. Se encuestó a 322 ancianos de 90 años o más, de los que el 47% tenía familiares longevos. La mayoría consumía frutas, lácteos y verduras y aproximadamente la mitad bebía vino tinto. Predominó un índice de masa corporal normal y realizaban actividad física con regularidad. La diabetes mellitus se asoció con la obesidad. La hipertensión arterial se observó a una edad de comienzo muy alta (72 años). Se halló un escaso porcentaje de fumadores. La agregación de dos factores de riesgo fue poco frecuente, y aun menor que se asociaran tres de ellos. En conclusión, la población de edad muy avanzada en nuestro medio presentaba características que indican que hay a la vez un componente genético y factores ambientales favorecedores de longevidad.

Abstract
We carried out a multicenter cross-sectional study in Argentina to investigate the prevalence of behavioral and other risk factors for coronary risk diseases in patients aged 90 years or more and to study the association between risk factors and longevity. Data was collected on 322 individual aged 90 years or more, 47% of whom had a family history of longevity. The majority ate meals comprising mainly fruit, milk and vegetables every day and half of the participants drank a moderate amount of red wine. On average, their body mass index was normal and they regularly took some form of physical activity. Generally, diabetes mellitus was associated with obesity. The onset of arterial hypertension occurred at the high average of 72 years. Few were found to be current smokers. Few individuals had two concurrent risk factors, and even fewer had three concurrent major coronary risk factors.
