Abstract EN
Background.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in adult Canadians.
Cardiometabolic risk (CMR) derived from 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome (MetS) needs to be evaluated in Canadian adults.
Objective.
To determine CMR among Canadian adults by sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics.
Subjects and Methods.
Data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), Cycle 1, 2007–2009, was used.
Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was implemented to predict 10-year risk of CVD, and metabolic syndrome was identified using the most recent criteria.
The 10-year risk of CVD was multiplied by 1.5 in individuals with MetS to obtain CMR.
Data were weighted and bootstrapped to be able to generalize the results nationally.
Results and Conclusion.
CMR gave more accurate estimation of 10-year risk of CVD in Canadian adults from 30 to 74 years than using only FRS.
The 10-year risk of CVD in Canadian adults significantly increased when CMR was taken into account from 8.10% to 9.86%.
The CVD risk increased by increase in age, decrease in education, and decrease in physical activity and in smokers.
Canadians with medium risk of CVD consumed significantly less fruit and vegetable juice compared to Canadians with low risk.
No other dietary differences were found.
