Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: Rural areas are currently facing lifestyle changes which greatly contribute to an increase in the prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Diabetes and Diabetes-related cardiovascular diseases in a rural population in Burkina Faso. METHODOLOGY: We collected demographic and clinical data, and we also performed capillary glucose testing for all the participants aged 16 years and above in five administrative communities in the province of Zandoma. RESULTS: In all, 970 individuals, with a mean age of 49.06 years (SD = 16.97), volunteered to participate in the screening. Most of them were aged between 40 and 65 years old (48.5%) and 57.5% were females. The prevalence of diabetes was 5.7%, and 9% of participants had an FPG level between 1.10 g/l and 1.26 g/l. A family history of diabetes was found in 4.3% of the cases. Looking at the other cardiovascular risk factors, we found 24.3% of the participant to be overweight or obese, 23.6% had High Blood Pressure. Age (p = 0.001), Employment Status (p = 0.015), Body Mass Index (p = 0.036) were significantly associated with diabetes. CONCLUSION: Diabetes is prevalent in rural areas in Burkina Faso, along with a significant proportion of prediabetes cases. Age, Employment Status, and BMI are the principal associated factors. |
