Abstract
IntroductionCardiovascular disease (CVD), leading cause of death worldwide [1], is responsible for more than 62% of all deaths in Romania [2]. The annual CV death rate estimated in 2005 at [...]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and the cardiovascular risk of the Romanian adult population and their tendency in the last 7 years. SEPHAR II, the second cross-sectional national representative survey with 1975 adult subjects (69% response rate) investigated by means of a questionnaire (demographics, life style, medical history,), blood pressure, anthropometric measurements and laboratory work-up. Targets of the analysis were traditional CV risk factors used evaluate 10-year risk of fatal CV events by SCORE chart for high risk countries: age, sex, smoking, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and total serum cholesterol and diabetes mellitus (DM). The study sample had a mean age of 47.14 [+ or -] 15.41 years with a female predominance (52.6%). Smoking prevalence was 26.9%, with a 7% decrease than 7 years ago. Mean SBP was 132.47 [+ or -] 22.36mmHg, on average with 4mmHg lower than the value from 7 years ago. Mean total serum cholesterol was 205.16 [+ or -] 46.22mg/ dl, on an average with 9mg/ dl higher than the value from 7 years before. DM prevalence (9%) has almost doubled in the last 7 years. The median 10-year risk of fatal CV events was 1%, the majority belonging in the low-moderate risk category (SCORE Keywords: cardiovascular risk, risk factors, survey
