| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST OtiR0xL4. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Study objective-To establish the prevalence of main cardiovascular risk factors in the province of Gerona, where the incidence ofmyocardial infarction is known to be low. Design-This was a cross sectional study of prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors conducted on a large random population sample. Setting-The province of Gerona, Spain. Participants-Two thousand four hundred and four eligible inhabitants of Gerona aged between 25 and 74 years were randomly selected for a multi-stage sample stratified by age and sex. The following were standardly measured : lipids (total cholesterol, high density, low density, lipoprotein (a) and triglycerides), fibrinogen, basal glycaemia, arterial pressure, anthropometric variables, smoking, history of angina (Rose questionnaire), and a medical history questionnaire. Population measurements were standardised for the world population of 24 to 74 years of age. Results-The participation rate was 72.7% (1748). Total mean cholesterol was 5.69 mmol/l in men and 5.61 mmol/l in women and mean high density cholesterol was 1.22 mmol/l and 1.47 mmol/l, respectively. Median lipoprotein (a) was 0.22 g/l. These three lipids increased significantly with age. Mean fibrinogen was 2.92 g/l in men and 3.09 g/l in women, and was higher in smokers. The prevalence of hypertension (systolic arterial tension >=140 mm Hg or diastolic >=90 mm Hg or drug treatment) was 31.3% in men and 27.7% in women. The proportion of male smokers was 33. (...) |
