| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS qrR0xrpo. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We sought to determine cardiovascular risk factor prevalence rates among adults in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Methods. We used self-reported indicators, anthropometric measures, and blood tests to screen 50138 adults aged 18 years or older taking part in a population-wide cardiovascular screening program. Results. Participants'mean age was 36.82 years (SD =14.3) ; 43 % were men. Risk factor prevalence rates were as follows : obesity, 35 % ; overweight, 32 % ; central obesity, 55 % ; diabetes, 18 % ; prediabetes, 27 % ; dyslipidemia, 44 % ; and hypertension, 23.1 %. In addition, 26 % of men were smokers, compared with 0.8 % of women. Age-standardized diabetes and prediabetes rates were 25 % and 30 %, respectively, and age-standardized rates of obesity and overweight were 41 % and 34 %. Conclusions. This population-wide cardiovascular screening program demonstrated a high cardiovascular burden for our small sample in Abu Dhabi. The data form a baseline against which interventions can be implemented and progress monitored as part of the population-wide Abu Dhabi Cardiovascular Disease Program. |
