analyse the relationship between the c3ardiovascular
disease risk scale ERICE (by its acronym in Spanish) and
overall lifestyle satisfaction, along with positive affect
and negative affect, considering a focus group of senior
citizens over 65 years of age, dependent from the Centro
de Salud de Campo de Belchite community health centre.
Materials and procedure: The foundations of such analysis
will be a population-based cross-sectional study in 2017.
The study sample –completely random- consisted of 106
subjects that voluntarily complied with a series of
personal interviews regarding their overall life style
satisfaction, as well as positive affect and negative
affect, along with a physical examination and a fasting
blood sample draw. The reliability of such questionnaires
was assessed via Cronbach alpha coefficient. Results: The
results confirmed that emotional well-being, a high level
of lifestyle satisfaction, and physical activity became an
effective protection barrier against cardiovascular
diseases. It turned out that the group of senior citizens
over 65 years of age who were living in the rural area
expounded to be highly satisfied with their lifestyle; they
were not only physically more active, but also had less
possibilities to suffer from cardiovascular diseases
according to the ERICE scale. Conclusions: The study
eventually concluded that men had lower risk to suffer from
cardiovascular diseases than women. It demonstrated the
importance of physical activity for senior citizens and its
direct connection with the positive and negative affect,
and overall lifestyle satisfaction in order to prevent
cardiovascular disease risk.",
