“…Those below age 45 years irrespective of sex had higher prevalence of ICH compared to those above 45 years of age. This trend has been reported by other similar studies[28,29,[40][41][42][43]. The risk of CVD increases linearly with age.…”

“…The relatively low prevalence of ideal BP in our cohort might be an indirect re ection of the high burden of hypertension in Nigeria characterized by high prevalence of low awareness, high burden of undiagnosed and poor control [5,44]. The prevalence of ideal diet is globally low according to published literature and our nding of 6.1% aligns with this global trend [28][29][30][31][32][33][40][41][42]. This global trend might be attributable to the twin problems of availability and affordability of fruits and vegetables remotely due to urbanization where arable farmlands have been converted for physical urban development [34,45].…”

Background: Ideal cardiovascular health (ICH) is a metrics for primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Its prevalence in Nigerians is not known. Methods This cross-sectional study assessed the seven American Heart Association’s ICH metrics of 889 Nigerians. The metrics included non-smoking, healthy diet, physical activity, body mass index (<25 kg/m2), untreated blood pressure <120/<80 mmHg, untreated total cholesterol <200 mg/dL, and untreated fasting blood glucose <100 mg/dL). Logistic regressions were used to estimate associations between sociodemographic factors (age and sex) and meeting 5–7 CVH metrics. Results: No one met all 7 of ICH metrics while 70 (7.8%) had 5-7metrics. The most prevalent and least prevalent ideal biological factors were ideal fasting plasma cholesterol (62.8%) and ideal blood pressure (31.5%) respectively. The most prevalent and least prevalent behavioural factors were ideal smoking status (86.2%) and ideal diet (6.5%) respectively. Compared to males, females had better ideal BP, p=0.005; better ideal fasting plasma glucose, p=0.031; better ideal fasting plasma cholesterol, p<0.001 and ideal smoking status, p<0.001. Ages 45 to 64 had better ideal smoking status and ideal physical activity (p<0.001 and p=0.001 respectively). Conclusion: There is a low prevalence of ICHamong Nigerians. Concerted efforts should be made to improve healthy living among Nigerians.

“…The details of the study sample design have been described previously. 14 Briefly, the sample selection considered the districts/boroughs’ classification according to the following criteria: socioeconomic level and predominance of women within specific age ranges. Nine sampling strata were then formed after clustering three socioeconomic levels (low, medium low and medium high) and three age groups (35–44, 45–54 and 55–70) at the borough level.…”

ObjectiveIdeal cardiovascular health (CVH) was developed to promote CVH as a key component of primordial prevention. Mobile short message service (SMS) is useful for improving health behaviours. We aim to test the effectiveness of SMS intervention in women to improve CVH.MethodsIn a single-blinded, randomised, controlled study, 620 women, aged 35–70 years, without cardiovascular disease, were enrolled in SMS intervention versus no SMS. CVH metrics by self-report, and biochemical laboratory, anthropometric and blood pressure measurements were collected during home visits at baseline and 9 months. Women were categorised as having poor (0–2), intermediate (3–4) or ideal (5–7) CVH according to the number of ideal CVH metrics. Participants were randomised 1:1 to SMS intervention versus control. SMS was sent every 5–6 days for 9 months. The primary outcome was the difference in the proportion of women with ideal CVH between SMS and control groups at 9 months. Rates of intermediate CVH, poor CVH and each of the seven ideal CV health metrics at 9 months were key secondary endpoints.ResultsAt 9 months, there was no significant difference between groups for the primary outcome (16.3% at baseline and 13.3% at 9 months, and 10.1% and 11.1%, in SMS and control groups, respectively, adjusted RR 1.0; 95% CI 0.6 to 1.6). Similarly, there were no significant differences between groups for the key secondary endpoints. SMS had an acceptance rate of 94.9%.ConclusionsBehavioural SMS intervention did not improve rates of ideal CVH in women, despite being feasible and well received.Trial registration number6377.

“…However, in the case of STEACS, women are more likely to develop serious complications such as acute heart failure. 9,10 Additional relevant considerations include a different impact of traditional CRFs such as smoking and DM, which disproportionately increase the risk of obstructive coronary disease in women. 6,10 Likewise, HTN, which especially affects coronary microcirculation, has a predominantly impact on postmenopausal women due to the drop in estrogens, which play a protective role.…”

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in women. This review will address the known disparities in cardiovascular care concerning diagnosing and treating of heart disease in Latin American (LA) women. Gender-specific differences regarding the incidence, treatment, and outcomes of common cardiovascular pathology are increasingly recognized. Today, we identify that women have cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs), specifying the traditional, emerging, unique, or sex-specific determinants and the social and biological determinants that play a leading role in the prevention of CVD. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on cardiovascular disease in LA women, focusing on ischemic heart disease (IHD), valve disease (VD), heart failure, and cardiac rehabilitation (CR), where disparities continue to affect outcomes. Understanding the unique cardiovascular risk profile and barriers to optimal treatment outcomes in women is imperative to eliminate the current disparities in CVD. EpidemiologyCardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be the leading cause of death in women, representing approximately 35% of all female deaths worldwide,
