title: [Precariousness, cardiovascular risk in the afro-Caribbean population of Saint-Martin. Data from the study CONSANT-SM].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective is to describe the prevalence of arterial hypertension (hypertension) and cardiovascular risk factors (FDR) and specify their association with the socio-economic factors in a collectivity of Saint-Martin.
  
  
  METHODS
  CONSANT-SM is a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out on a representative sample of 400 people. The data collection was conducted by investigators at home.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The low income level is significantly associated with abdominal obesity (OR=2.3), with cardiovascular FDR accumulated (OR=3.58). Low level of education (OR=2.86) and abdominal obesity (OR=3.73) are significantly associated with hypertension.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The link between cardiovascular FDR and precariousness (in our study represented by the variable low levels of income and education) is found in this study carried out on a representative sample of the population of the community of Saint-Martin.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The strong link between hypertension, obesity and others cardiovascular risk factors (FDR) with precariousness (in our study represented by the variable low levels of income and education) is found in this afro-Caribbean population. This data is an important information for the health program developed by the healthy system.
