目的：描述卒中高危人群中可改变的卒中生活方式危险因素。非洲人口快速增长，采用有害的西方饮食，高血压和肥胖患病率上升。结果：共筛选了440名研究参与者，其中87名高血压患者加上至少一种其他已知卒中危险因素。筛查人群中高血压和糖尿病的患病率分别为19.7%和1.8%。在高血压患者中，仅有2.3%（2/87）进行过血脂评估。72%（68/87）的患者血清ldl -胆固醇水平非常高，33.3%（29/87）的患者血清hdl -胆固醇水平较低，67.8%的患者平均血压高于160/100mmHg， 40%（35/87）的患者肥胖，BMI≥30。针对具有可改变的中风危险因素的个体并实施自我管理方案可能是减少乌干达中风负担的一种方法。
OBJECTIVE: To describe the modifiable lifestyle risk factors for stroke among a high risk population for stroke. Africa suffers from rapid population growth, adoption of harmful western diets, and increased prevalence of hypertension and obesity.RESULTS: A total of 440 study participants were screened and 87 individuals with hypertension plus at least one other known stroke risk factor were enrolled. The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the screened population was 19.7 and 1.8%, respectively. Among those with hypertension only 2.3% (2/87) had ever had serum lipid assessment. Seventy-two percent (68/87) had very high serum LDL-cholesterol, while 33.3% (29/87) had low levels of HDL-cholesterol, and 67.8% had mean blood pressures greater than 160/100mmHg and 40% (35/87) were obese, with a BMI ≥30. Targeting individuals with modifiable stroke risk factors and implementing self-management programs may be a way to reduce stroke burden in Uganda.
