Résumé
Purpose: to assess the prevalence and trends of low cardiovascular
risk factor (RF) profile in the Swiss population according to different
definitions.
Methods: Population-based cross-sectional study of 6170 subjects
(3241 women) aged 35-75 years living in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Trends were assessed using data from the Swiss MONICA population
surveys conducted in 1984-6 (N = 3300), 1988-9 (N = 3331) and
1992-3 (N = 3133) and restricted to the same age group. Seven
different definitions of low RF profile were used.
Results: prevalence of low RF profile varied between 6.5% (95%
confidence interval: 5.9-7.1) and 9.7% (9.0-10.5) depending on the
definition used (see fig. 1). The prevalence was inversely related to the
number of criteria used and higher than in other countries. Irrespective
of the definition used, the prevalence of low RF profile was higher in
women and in physically active participants, and decreased with
increasing age or in the presence of a family history of cardiovascular
disease. The prevalence of low RF profile increased from 3.8% (3.1-
4.5) in 1984-6 to 6.7% (6.1-7.3) in 2003-6; using another definition,
the results were 5.9% (5.1-6.8) and 9.7% (9.0-10.5), respectively
(see fig. 2).
Conclusion: the prevalence of low RF profile varies according to the
criteria used; this prevalence is relatively high and increasing in the
Swiss population, which might partly explain the low and decreasing
trend in cardiovascular mortality rates.
