title: Cclinical study of vscular risk factors in the adult in the Thiadiaye rural environment.
abstract: Authors report the results of a prospective study in a sample of the district of Thiadiaye, a rural area in Senegal. They studied blood pressure, body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio of 329 adults. The mean systolic blood pressure is 123 +/- 24.3 mm Hg and the mean diastolic blood pressure is 71.7 +/- 13.2 mm Hg. There is a positive correlation between blood pressure and age (p < 10(-9)). The prevalence of hypertension is 20.18% and one can note a female predominance (21% for women versus 18% for men). The mean body mass index is 21.1 +/- 10.6. There is no correlation between corpulence and age. Conversely, the body mass index is higher in female in all age groups (p < 10(-7)). The prevalence of obesity is 5%. Abdominal fat distribution is 41.6%: 64% for women and 9.7% for men (p = 0.003).
