| Popis: | Background: Metabolic syndrome is known as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of death globally. The factors that comprise metabolic syndrome are on the rise in Sub-Saharan Africa, and data regarding the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in communities of aged less than 40 years old remain scarce. Methods: Data were collected between March and April 2013 from 3 regions of the Northern Senegal (i.e., Saint-Louis, Matam et and Louga) using a cluster sampling method and the survey base of the national statistical and demographical agency. Subjects aged between 18 and 80 years were recruited, however, the present study focused on adult populations below 40 years of age. Participants underwent a face-to-face questionnaire to collect demographics and data on cardiovascular history/risk factors. Blood pressure (BP) and anthropometric measurements were performed in addition to a blood test measuring fasting triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and plasma glucose. Metabolic syndrome was defined as fasting plasma glucose ≥110 mg/dl, serum triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl, serum HDL cholesterol 102 cm in males or >89 cm in females. Comparisons used the χ2 test for categorical variables and Student’s t test for continuous variables. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with CFI, after considering potential confounders. Covariates with significant association (P Results: Of the 2,440 subjects recruited, 1080 participants were less than 40 years old and included in the current analysis. The mean age of these participants was 31 ± 7.53I. There were 296 (27%) male participants in our study. . Overall, there were 41 participants (3.8%) with metabolic. For individual components of metabolic syndrome, body mass index of 25 or higher was present in 32% of the population with a significant increase among women (38 vs 15% vs 3,7%, p Conclusion: Our community-based cross-sectional study revealed a low prevalence of metabolic syndrome among younger participants in northern Senegal. However, the prevalence of dyslipidaemia was high. |
