Cerebrocardiovascular diseases are a major global public health concern, significantly impacting morbidity, mortality, and posing substantial socio-economic challenges. In Cabo Verde, non-communicable diseases have become the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of risk factors for cerebrocardiovascular diseases and their association with cardiac electrical alterations in adults on Santiago Island, Cabo Verde. A cross-sectional population-based study using simple random sampling was conducted on individuals over 18 years of age. The sample size of 599 was based on Santiago Island's 2021 population projection. Data collection occurred in October and November 2021, involving questionnaires on risk factors and cerebrocardiovascular diseases; blood pressure assessments; and capillary blood glucose measurements. The sample was predominantly female, with the 18-27 age group being the largest. Key risk factors included physical inactivity (65.1%), BMI ≥ 25 kg/m (42.6%), hypertension (32.6%), and family history of cerebrocardiovascular diseases (19.9%). Other factors were alcoholism (14.4%), hypercholesterolemia (8.3%), smoking (7.3%), diabetes (4.5%), and hypertriglyceridemia (1.3%). Notably, 9.3% had no risk factors, 27.5% had one, 36.2% had two, and 26.9% had three or more. There is a high prevalence of risk factors for cerebrocardiovascular diseases on Santiago Island, particularly among females.
心脑血管疾病是全球主要的公共卫生问题，对发病率、死亡率有重大影响，并带来巨大的社会经济挑战。在佛得角，非传染性疾病已成为发病和死亡的主要原因。本研究旨在估计佛得角圣地亚哥岛成年人中心脑血管疾病危险因素的患病率及其与心脏电活动改变的关联。采用简单随机抽样的基于人群的横断面研究对18岁以上的个体进行。样本量599是基于圣地亚哥岛2021年的人口预测。数据收集于2021年10月和11月进行，包括关于危险因素和心脑血管疾病的问卷、血压评估以及毛细血管血糖测量。样本以女性为主，18 - 27岁年龄组人数最多。主要危险因素包括身体活动不足（65.1%）、体重指数≥25 kg/m（42.6%）、高血压（32.6%）以及心脑血管疾病家族史（19.9%）。其他因素有酗酒（14.4%）、高胆固醇血症（8.3%）、吸烟（7.3%）、糖尿病（4.5%）和高甘油三酯血症（1.3%）。值得注意的是，9.3%的人没有危险因素，27.5%的人有一个危险因素，36.2%的人有两个危险因素，26.9%的人有三个或更多危险因素。圣地亚哥岛心脑血管疾病危险因素的患病率很高，尤其是在女性中。
