Changing lifestyle, driven by socio-economic trends, is changing the cardiovascular risk and disease profile in developing countries. We studied the cardiovascular risk factors of Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia hospital staff between 40 and 60 years. 297 members of hospital staff were consecutively recruited in October 2010. Data obtained include blood pressure, height and weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood sugar, serum cholesterol (total and differential) and serum triglyceride. The data were analysed using the SPSS package (version 10). The following prevalence levels were found: hypertension 37.5%, obesity 40.8%, diabetes mellitus 5.7%, hypercholesterolemia 18.1% and metabolic syndrome 24.7%. LDL, low HDL and elevated TG were elevated in 26.8%, 41.9% and 9.7% respectively. Only 2% had very low risk for cardiovascular disease.
受社会经济趋势驱动，生活方式的改变正在改变发展中国家的心血管疾病风险和疾病状况。我们研究了乌穆阿希亚联邦医疗中心40至60岁医院工作人员的心血管危险因素。2010年10月连续招募了297名医院工作人员。获得的数据包括血压、身高和体重、体重指数（BMI）、空腹血糖、血清胆固醇（总胆固醇和分类胆固醇）以及血清甘油三酯。使用SPSS软件包（版本10）对数据进行分析。发现以下患病率：高血压37.5%，肥胖40.8%，糖尿病5.7%，高胆固醇血症18.1%，代谢综合征24.7%。低密度脂蛋白（LDL）、低高密度脂蛋白（HDL）和甘油三酯（TG）升高的比例分别为26.8%、41.9%和9.7%。只有2%的人患心血管疾病的风险极低。
