  • Title: [Cardiovascular risk factors in Tlemcen (Algeria)].
    Author: Latifa BH, Kaouel M.
    Journal: Sante; 2007; 17(3):153-8. PubMed ID: 18180216.
    Abstract:
    Cardiovascular risk factors were studied in a random representative sample of the urban community of Tlemcen, aged 20 years or older. The study included 805 subjects (participation rate: 72%). This study showed a high prevalence of hypertension (32.7%), diabetes (16.1%), cigarette smoking (17.1%, but 36.8% among men), blood cholesterol levels > 6.2 mmol/L (6.3%) and obesity (19.2% and significantly higher in women than in men: 27.9% vs 10.5%). These results show that the prevalence of hypertension is very high among women, reaching levels observed in industrialized countries.
