Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study, which took as its population the people from a cardiovascular risk program of a primary healthcare center in Armenia-Quindío. It was performed between January 1st & December 31 in 2016. The variables were described on average, standard deviation and confidence intervals with a comparative analysis described by sex and by the three equations used to calculate glomerular filtration rate. Results: In the population of cardiovascular risk program, an average age of 65.69 ± 12.08 years and Body Mass Index (BMI) of 27.76± 6.44 m2/kg was found. High blood pressure was found in 86.46%, diabetes was presented in 25.78% and the 7.03% of population smokes. The cardiovascular risk calculated with the score Framingham was 11.28%±8.47.
