Profil des lipides sériques des peuls adultes nomades du Nord-Bénin

Abstract

RESUMEObjectif : Décrire le profil des lipides sériques des sujets adultes peuls nomades du Nord-Bénin. Méthodes et résultats : Il s'agissait d'une étude transversale à visée descriptive et analytique ayant concerné 58 sujets adultes peuls nomades et 61 non peuls. Les paramètres lipidiques ont été dosés par la méthode enzymatique conventionnelle. Les résultats ont montré que les valeurs moyennes de la cholestérolémie totale (3,43 ± 0,62 mmol/L), de la cholestérolémie HDL (0,93 ± 0,29 mmol/L) et de la cholestérolémie LDL (1,84 ± 0,61 mmol/L) chez les sujets peuls étaient significativement inférieures à celles des sujets non peuls (4,43 ± 1,07 mmol/L ; 1,49 ± 0,37 mmol/L ; 2,51 ± 0,88 mmol/L respectivement). Conclusion et application: Les peuls adultes nomades du Nord-Bénin ont un profil lipidique sérique différent de celui des autres ethnies, avec des concentrations en paramètres lipidiques sériques plus faibles. Nos résultats permettent de suggérer l'adoption du comportement alimentaire des peuls nomades du Nord-Bénin par la population générale afin de prévenir les dyslipidémies et certaines affections cardiovasculaires.

Serum lipids profile of adult nomad Fulani populations in northern BeninABSTRACT Objective: To describe the serum lipids profile of adult nomad Fulani subjects in northern Benin. Methods and results:This work is about a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study which involved 58 adult nomad subjects of Fulani origin and 61 adult subjects of non Fulani origin. Lipid parameters were analyzed through conventional enzymatic method. The results showed that mean values of total cholesterolemia (3.43 ± 0.62 mmol/L), HDL cholesterolemia (0.93 ± 0.29 mmol/L) and LDL cholesterolemia (1.84 ± 0.61 mmol/L) among Fulani subjects were significantly lower than that of non Fulani subjects (4.43 ± 1.07 mmol/L ; 1.49 ± 0.37 mmol/L ; 2.51 ± 0.88 mmol/L respectively). Conclusion and application: The Fulani nomad adult populations living in northern Benin has a different serum lipids profile of that of other ethnic origins, with lower seric lipidic concentrations' parameters. These results allow us to suggest the adoption of northern Benin's Fulani nomads' dietary pattern for the rest of the Benin population in order to prevent dyslipidemias and other cardiovascular diseases.

"Lipid Profile and Atherogenic Index in Hypertensives and Non-Hypertensives in a Rural Sub-Saharan Population: Case of Ferlo Senegal"

“…This prevalence was much higher than that found in St Louis (26.5%) and Dakar (7.3%). These results agree with those of Gomina et al, in 2011 where the concentration of HDL was low in the same ethnic group as our study population in both men and women [18].…”

“…The average BMI of this study was approximately equal between the two groups, it is comparable to the average found in the study carried out at Ferlo in 2014 (20.55 ± 4.04) and it is lower than the average BMI found in Dakar (24.04 ± 4.98) [17]. This same phenomenon was also noted in a population of the same nomadic ethnic group from North Benin [18]. It was also found that overweight and obesity were higher among hypertensives than among normotensive subjects.…”

“…However, there was a significant difference between hyper-and normo-tense men. Unlike the Benin study where a significant difference was noted in women (p=0.001) [18]. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (7.5%) was much lower than that found in St Louis (66.2%) and Dakar (30.9%) (4.5).…”

“…Our results showed that total cholesterol levels in the subjects were almost normal and identical between hypertensives and non-hypertensives. This was also noted in a population of the same ethnic group in Benin [18]. The hypercholesterolemia rate of 1.9% was much lower than that found at the Saint Louis University Hospital in Senegal which was 60.9% [5] and that found at the Aristide Le Dantec Hospital in Dakar which was 30.9% [4].…”

“…The average triglycerides (113.91 ± 50.5 mg/dl) in our population were within normal values. It was the same in the same ethnic group from northern Benin (77.3 ± 18.9 mg/dl) [18], but it was lower than that found in a population of Cameroonian hypertensives (135.7 ± 49. 8 mg/dl) [25].…”
