To provide a systematic review of studies on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and their risk factors in the Moroccan population. A systematic analysis was performed based on PRISMA guidelines by retrieving data bases (Medline, Embase, and other) using technical keywords in addition to manual research on official websites. Published studies in the English or French language, conducted in Morocco or concerning the Moroccan population within the last two decades, were identified. This is the first systematic review of CVD in Morocco. Data from 159 studies were retrieved and analyzed. Most studies were written in the English language (75.89%) and published between 2010 and 2019 (85.47%). The mortality rate caused by CVD in Morocco has reached 38%, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main events causing death (31.0% and 22.5% respectively). The risk factors present in the population studied were headed by tobacco smoking (45- 50%), followed by physical inactivity (21.1%), elevated rate of hypertension (25.3%), and depression (5.47%). Impacted by a high rate of illiteracy and poverty and an unprepared health care system in Morocco, these numbers are expected to increase over the next decade. Based on these alarming incidences, investment in scientific research and epidemiological studies should be increased to determine the needs of the local population. The available evidence shows that the risk of cardiovascular disease and the associated mortality is very high in Morocco and will rise in the next years prospectively, which calls for urgent multi-sectorial approaches and treatment strategies.
为了对摩洛哥人群中心血管疾病（CVD）及其危险因素的研究进行系统综述。根据 PRISMA 指南，通过检索 Medline、Embase 和其他数据库（使用技术关键词）并结合官方网站的手动检索，进行了系统分析。识别出过去 20 年内在摩洛哥或涉及摩洛哥人群的以英语或法语发表的研究。这是摩洛哥 CVD 的首次系统综述。检索和分析了 159 项研究的数据。大多数研究以英语撰写（75.89%），发表于 2010 年至 2019 年（85.47%）。摩洛哥 CVD 的死亡率达到 38%，缺血性心脏病和中风是主要死亡原因（分别为 31.0%和 22.5%）。研究人群中的危险因素以吸烟（45-50%）为首，其次是缺乏身体活动（21.1%）、高血压发病率高（25.3%）和抑郁（5.47%）。摩洛哥的高文盲率和贫困率以及准备不足的医疗保健系统对此产生影响，预计未来十年这些数字将增加。鉴于这些令人震惊的情况，应增加对科学研究和流行病学研究的投资，以确定当地人口的需求。现有证据表明，摩洛哥心血管疾病的风险和相关死亡率非常高，并将在未来几年内上升，这需要紧急采取多部门方法和治疗策略。
