Trends in XXXX Risk Factor Prevalence and Estimated 10-Year Cardiovascular Risk Scores in a Large Untreated French Urban Population: The CARVAR 92 Study.

@entity1 @entity101 @entity286 @entity65
BACKGROUND: Surveys measuring effectiveness of public awareness campaigns in reducing @entity65 ( @entity65 ) incidence have yielded equivocal findings. The aim of this study was to describe cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) changes over the years in an untreated population-based study. METHODS: Between 2007 and 2012, we conducted a screening campaign for CVRFs in @entity1 aged 40 to 65 yrs and @entity1 aged 50 to 70 yrs in the western suburbs of Paris. Data were complete for 20,324 @entity1 of which 14,709 were untreated. RESULTS: The prevalence trend over six years was statistically significant for @entity101 in @entity1 from 25.9% in 2007 to 21.1% in 2012 (p=0.002) and from 23% in 2007 to 12.7% in 2012 in @entity1 (p<0.0001). The prevalence trend of @entity286 smoking decreased from 38.6% to 27.7% in @entity1 (p=0.0001) and from 22.6% to 16.8% in @entity1 (p=0.113). The Framingham 10-year risk for @entity65 decreased from 13.3    8.2 % in 2007 to 11.7    9.0 % in 2012 in @entity1 and from 8.0    4.1 % to 5.9    3.4 % in @entity1 . The 10-year risk of fatal @entity65 based on the European Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) decreased in @entity1 and in @entity1 (p <0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Over a 6-year period, several CVRFs have decreased in our screening campaign, leading to decrease in the 10-year risk for @entity65 and the 10-year risk of fatal @entity65 . Cardiologists should recognize the importance of community prevention programs and communication policies, particularly @entity286 control and healthier diets to decrease the CVRFs in the general population.
