“…This is likely owing to the fact that animal breeding and farming which are most practiced in this region necessitate important geographical displacement. In our study, however, physical inactivity appeared to be a more dominant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases compared to high blood pressure, thus contradicting reports of other sub-Saharan studies in which arterial hypertension was observed to be the most prevalent CVD risk factor [22, 30]. …”

“…Diabetes mellitus has been reported to occur in about 2.9% to 6.2% of Cameroon's rural and urban subpopulations [28], similar to the observed 3.6% in neighbouring Nigeria [18]. This is lower than the results reported in several countries: 11.9% in men and 11.7% in women in South Africa [24], 7.8% in men and 8.5% in women in Congo [29], 7.2% in men and 4.3% in women in France, and 12.6% in men and 9.1% in women in the United States [30]. Probably, our sampling methods could have led to underestimation of the occurrence of hyperglycaemia in our study population as we did not consider diabetic patients on treatment and having normal FBG levels as being hyperglycaemic contrary to the other authors [26, 29].…”

“…The major role of dyslipidemia in the genesis of cardiovascular disease has been established by large studies in population cohorts, particularly in the United States (Robert and Nelson, 2013) and in Europe (Julian et al, 2017). The results of this are comparable to those found by Tiahou et al (2010) and also corroborate the prevalence found in Senegalese studies (Pessinaba et al, 2013;Thiombiano et al, 2016;Fatou et al, 2016) and are similar to prevalences observed in industrialized countries that exceed 30% (Ferrieres et al, 2005;Scheidt-Nave et al, 2013;Tóth et al, 2012). In this study, hyperlipidemia is the most common dyslipidemia (33.93%) followed closely by hypertriglyceridemia (4.91%).This predominance of hyperlipidemia has also been reported by the work of Fatou Cissé et al (2016) as well as Erem et al (2008) in Turkey.…”

“…The exploitation of these data showed an association between dyslipidemia and other risk factors such as hypertension (RR = 2.55) ( Table 3). This association was also found in the study by Pessinaba et al (2013) and Fatou et al (2016). In the case of obesity, an association with dyslipidemia was not found.…”

“…The average age of the subjects included was 38.4 years. The average age is inferior to the 43.4 reported in 2013 by Pessinaba S. and al in Senegal in a prevalence study of cardiovascular risk factors in the general population [4]. In Benin, Houinato DS and al.…”
