Abstract EN
Aim.
To assess in adults from Benin changes in cardiometabolic risk (CMR) using both the Framingham risk score (FRS) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to examine the effects of diet, and lifestyles, controlling for location and socioeconomic status.
Methods.
Apparently healthy subjects (n=541) aged 25–60 years and randomly selected in the largest city, a small town, and rural areas were included in the four-year longitudinal study.
Along with CMR factors, socioeconomic, diet and lifestyle data were collected in individual interviews.
A food score based on consumption frequency of four “sentinel” food groups (meat and poultry, dairy, eggs, and vegetables) was developed.
Lifestyle included physical activity, alcohol and tobacco use.
Education and income (proxy) were the socioeconomic variables.
Results.
Among the subjects with four-year follow-up data (n=416), 13.5% were at risk at baseline, showing MetS or FRS ≥ 10%.
The incidence of MetS and FRS ≥ 10% during follow-up was 8.2% and 5%, respectively.
CMR deteriorated in 21% of subjects.
Diet and lifestyle mediated location and income effects on CMR evolution.
Low food scores and inactivity increased the likelihood of CMR deterioration.
Conclusion.
Combining MetS and FRS might be appropriate for surveillance purposes in order to better capture CMR and inform preventive measures.
