Effects of cardiometabolic risk factors on blood pressure in outpatients at Sominé DOLO hospital, Mopti, Mali

Blood cardiometabolic impairments are associated to high blood pressure which is a pivot cardiovascular risk factor. The objective of this study was to assess cardiometabolic risk factors rates in subjects with high blood pressure in the steady state. A total of 292subjects, 107 cases and 185 controls were enrolled in cross-sectional study. Clinical and biological data were assessed during visits and after overnight fasting. Data were analyzed on R. A p-value < 0.05 was considered for statistical significance. Univariate analysis showed thatage > 50 years, visceral obesity, metabolic syndrome and hs- CRP ≥ 3 mg/L were significant predictors of high blood pressure: OR = 2.1, 95% CI [1.3-3.5], p = 0.003; OR = 1.6, 95% CI [1.0-2.6], p = 0.05; OR = 3.3; 95% CI [2.0-5.4], p < 0.001; OR = 16.8; 95% CI [9.4-31.4], p < 0.001, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed a positive association between obesity, metabolic syndrome, hs-CRP and high blood pressure: aOR = 2.29; 95% CI [1.14-4.69], p = 0.02; aOR = 3.47; 95% CI [1.64-7.61], p = 0.001; aOR = 18.10; CI, 2.5% to 95% [9.40-36.99], p < 0.001, respectively. In contrast, female sex was negatively associated with high blood pressure aOR = 0.31; CI, 95% CI [0.13-0.72], p < 0.008. Prevention policiesshould take into account blood cardiometabolic level for subjects with high blood pressure even though in the steady sate.
