Abstract

We undertook an epidemiological survey based on a representative sample of 793 rural schoolchildren in Sousse, Tunisia to assess the prevalence of certain cardiovascular disease risk factors. The prevalence of hypertension (11.2%), hypercholesterolaemia (2.9%), hypertriglyceridaemia (1.0%), high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (0.6%) and obesity (4.0%) showed no statistically significant difference based on sex. However, smoking (4%) showed a significant gender difference (boys: 7.3%; girls 1.2%). The relatively low cardiovascular disease risk factor profile of Tunisian children needs to be encouraged through to adulthood. Thus a school programme of heart health promotion should be established.

摘要

我们以突尼斯苏塞793名农村学童为代表性样本进行了一项流行病学调查，以评估某些心血管疾病风险因素的患病率。高血压（11.2%）、高胆固醇血症（2.9%）、高甘油三酯血症（1.0%）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平高（0.6%）和肥胖（4.0%）的患病率在性别上无统计学显著差异。然而，吸烟（4%）存在显著的性别差异（男孩：7.3%；女孩1.2%）。突尼斯儿童相对较低的心血管疾病风险因素状况需要在成年期之前得到鼓励。因此，应制定一项学校心脏健康促进计划。
