Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: The objective of our study was to assess the cardiovascular risk of a Cameroonian military population and compare it to the cardiovascular risk of the neighboring civilian population.

Patients and methods: We will conduct a cross-sectional study that involved subjects aged from 18 to 58 years, recruited from October 2017 to November 2018 at the Fifth Military Sector Health Center in Ngaoundéré. Data collection and assessment was done according to World Health Organization STEPS manual for surveillance of risk factors of Non-communicable chronic diseases; and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Five cardiovascular risk factors were assessed, smoking, harmful alcohol consumption, obesity/overweight, hypertension and diabetes. Cardiovascular risk was considered high in subjects with three or more cardiovascular risk factors. Univariates analysis and multivariate logistic regression were carried out according to their indications.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Cardiovascular risk factor	evaluated by summing the participant's cardiovascular risk factors. The cardiovascular risk factors used for the cardiovascular risk assessment were smoking, excessive alcohol consumption (defined by an AUDIT score = 8), overweight or obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. The cardiovascular risk was considered high if the subject had a combination of at least 3 cardiovascular risk factors.	At inclusion
Secondary	Smoking	answering "yes" to the question do you smoke?	At inclusion
Secondary	Alcoholism	answering "yes" to the question do you consume alcohol?	At inclusion
Secondary	Body mass index	3 modalities was defined according to BMI. Underweight (BMI < 18.5 Kg/m2), normal weight (18 = BMI < 25 Kg/m²), overweight (25 = BMI < 30 Kg/m²), obesity (BMI = 30 Kg/m²).	At inclusion
Secondary	Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)	Systolic blood pressure = 140 mmHg or taking a hypotensive treatment.	At inclusion
Secondary	Glycaemia (mmol/L)	Fasting blood glucose = 7 mmol/l or taking a hypoglycemic treatment	At inclusion
Secondary	Diastolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)	diastolic = 90 mmHg or taking a hypotensive treatment.	At inclusion
