Epidemiological, Clinical and Therapeutic Characteristics of Hypertensive Type 2 Diabetics at the Marc Sankale Center of Dakar

Abstract

Introduction: High blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes mellitus are two major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which is increasing rapidly in Africa and worldwide. Africa has the highest prevalence rate of hypertension in the world, with 46% of adults over the age of 25 with. Hypertension is common in type 2 diabetes and increases cardiovascular risk. The association of these two pathologies has many particularities in the sub-Saharan subject. The work related to this entity in Africa shows a frequency between 30% and 60%. The objective was to describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic characteristics at the Medical Clinic II of the Abass Ndao Hospital Center in Dakar. Patients Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study conducted from 01 December 2016 to 31 January 2017. It focused on patients with cardiothyrosis. Epidemiological data, cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiothoracic characteristics were evaluated. Results: 303 cases were recorded with a prevalence of 42%, an average age of 61.63 years, a sex ratio of 0.22. The age group of [60 -70] years was the most representative at 36.30%. The BMI (Body Mass Index) average was 27.06 kg/m². Obesity was 25% and 35% were overweight. Dyslipidemia consisting of an increase in LDL cholesterol > 1 g/l in 79%, a hypercholesterolemia in 57%, a decrease in HDL cholesterol in 13.23% and a hypertriglyceridemia in 28%. Patients with three cardiovascular risk factors accounted for 93.72%. The average fasting glucose level was 2.85 g/l. Hyperglycemia was noted in 65%. The glycosylated hemoglobin is greater than 7% in 47%. The duration of diabetes was less than 5 years

Epidemiological Aspects of Obesity, Overweight and Cardiovascular Risk Factors at Associes in Semi-Urban Areas (Case of Sébikotane)

“…In our study, diabetes was present in 23% of volunteers. Sow et al [27] in their study found overweight in 30.3% and obese in 22.5%. In Ka et al's study, the rates of obesity and overweight were 5.9% and 2.4% respectively [28].…”

Impact of Type 1 Diabetes on Renal Parameters in Children Aged One to 17 at the Mother and Child University Hospital in N’Djamena, Chad

“…This may be related to an increased catabolic rate of proteins for energy production in the body and a decrease in GFR. This process of proteolysis is explained by the fact that in energy failure due to the non-use of blood glucose, the cells seek other sources of supply among which the proteins by their degradation can release the substrates of the gluconeogenesis and amino wastes such as urea and creatinine as described by previous studies [ 14 ]. This led to moderate and severe terminal renal failure in patients, respectively, at 1.6% and 29.5% with a p-value of 0.876.…”
