Introduction: The objective of our study was to calculate the risk of cardiovascular event and arterial age in an obese Tunisian population.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in service A of the National Institute of Nutrition in Tunis. 25 patients were included. The score from The Framingham Heart Study(1) was used to calculate cardiovascular risk and arterial age.
Results: The mean age was 44.28+13.2 years, the average duration of obesity was 20.8+10.4 years, the mean BMI was 47.9+9.2 kg/m², average waist circumference was 134.01+18.48 cm, the mean arterial age was 53.12+18.59 years. High blood pressure, Type 2 Diabetes, smoking, hypercholesterolemia and Low HDL cholesterol were noted in 40%, 34%, 20%, 46%, 23% of patients respectively. A cardiovascular risk higher than 10 was noted in 32% of population (n=8). The analytical study showed a significant difference between chronological age and arterial age (P=0.001). Arterial age and cardiovascular risk were not correlated with BMI or waist circumference or duration of obesity progression.
Conclusion: Our study has shown that cardiovascular risk stratification is possible on simple clinical-biological data. Obesity increases the cardiovascular risk mainly through its complications, hence the interest of repeating the cardiovascular evaluation at each consultation in order to improve the vital prognosis in this population.
