Abstract

To assess the risk to Tunisian children of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), we undertook an epidemiological survey of 1569 urban schoolchildren from Sousse. Prevalence rates for the following CVD risk factors were determined: hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and other lipid disorders, obesity and tobacco consumption. Hypertension and hypertriglyceridaemia showed no statistically significant difference by sex. Hypercholesterolaemia, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and obesity were all significantly higher for girls than boys. Smoking was significantly higher among boys. The relatively low CVD risk factor profile of Tunisian schoolchildren should be encouraged in adulthood and a school heart health programme should be established.

摘要

为评估突尼斯儿童患心血管疾病（CVD）的风险，我们对来自苏塞的1569名城市学童进行了一项流行病学调查。确定了以下心血管疾病风险因素的患病率：高血压、高胆固醇血症和其他血脂异常、肥胖和吸烟。高血压和高甘油三酯血症在性别上无统计学显著差异。女孩的高胆固醇血症、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平升高和肥胖均显著高于男孩。男孩吸烟率显著更高。突尼斯学童相对较低的心血管疾病风险因素状况在成年期应得到鼓励，并且应制定学校心脏健康计划。
