【 摘 要 】

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors [hypertension (HTN), obesity, Dyslipidemia (DLP), diabetes mellitus (DM) and smoking] in Oskoo. Methods: This study was planned according to WHO pro-tocol "WHO CVD-risk management package for low and medium-resource settings" and named "East Azerbaijan healthy heart program". The pilot study of this program was done in Oskoo in 2007-2009. In this study, demographic data and CVD risk factors of 37,329 adults aged �?30 years old living in Oskoo were collected. In addition, blood samples of 17,388 adults �?40 years old were taken (free of charge) for assessment of serum glucose and lipid profile. Results: The study covered 93.52% of Oskoo town population aged�?30 years old. We studied 18637 male (91.50% coverage) and 18692 female (95.52% coverage) participants. The incidence of HTN [SBP�?140 & DBP�?90 mmHg] was 16.25% (M:15.08%, F:17.29%), pre-hypertension [SBP=120-139 & DBP=80-89 mmHg] =37.78% (M:41.38%, F:34.18%), DM [fast blood glucose (FBS)�?126mg/dl] was 7.45% (M:6.35%, F:8.54%), smoking was 9.40% (M:17.00%, F:1.57%), hypercholesterolemia (>200mg/dl) was 47.64% (M:42.46%, F:52.81%) and obesity [body mass index (BMI) �?27] was 50.47% (M:38.79%, F:62.09%). Conclusion: Considering high incidence of CVD risk factors (except smoking) in Oskoo adults �?30 years, it is recommended that this pilot study expanded to all of East Azerbaijan. Free of charge taking blood samples from people �? 40 years to evaluate lipid profile and glucose levels is worthy to early detecting the prevalent DM or DLP in this target population.
