Overview

Age- and gender-specific CV risk patterns in Saudis support targeted prevention; leaves open whether these distributions warrant policy changes without longitudinal data.

Structured PICO

P
Population
3063 adult Saudis from the heart health promotion study, divided into five age groups (less than 40 years, 40-45 years, 46-50 years, 51-55 years and ≥56 years).
O
Outcome
Prevalence of metabolic, socioeconomic, and cardiac risk factors, and cardiovascular risk determined by the Framingham Coronary Heart Risk Score

In the Saudi population, cardiovascular risk factors increase with age, with obesity being the predominant risk factor in women and smoking and dyslipidemia in men.
