Cardiometabolic risk factors in Tunisia are growing fast. The main risk factor is metabolic syndrome which is a global health issue in both developing and developed countries. It is resulting from a new phase of epidemiological transition characterised by ageing and an increase in non-communicable diseases. It is common in both genders with some disparities between urban and rural regions, educational levels and social classes. Hypertension and diabetes are also additional risk factors predicting alarming mortality rates. We propose here a review of the determinants of metabolic syndrome in Tunisia and the overall cardiometabolic risk factors.
