Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of mortality in Morocco and in the world. Several factors favoring the occurrence of these diseases have been identified. The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of the main cardiovascular risk factors in the population of the Agadir region-Morocco through a prospective study in a sample of 305 patients. Anthropometric, socioeconomic, and medical history characteristics of the study population were collected on a pre-established sheet. Obesity was assessed by calculating the body mass index (BMI). The patients had a blood pressure measurement and a biochemical assessment. The results obtained showed that the mean age was 52.82 ± 14.91 years, with a predominance of female gender (84.4%) and urban origin (74.8%). The average BMI of the sample was 30.33 ± 8 kg/m2. Obesity affected more than half of the patients (52%), with a female predominance (58%). Hypertension was present in 37.7% of patients, dyslipidemia was found in 63.9% of patients, while diabetes was present in 57.4% of patients in our series. The overall cardiovascular risk was high in 40.5% of patients in our series according to the Framingham model and 1.9% according to SCORE. This study showed a very high prevalence of CVDF, including obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. The result obtained in this study suggests a considerable increase in cardiovascular disease in the coming years.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of mortality in Morocco and in the world. Several factors favoring the occurrence of these diseases have been identified. The objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of the main cardiovascular risk factors in the population of the Agadir region-Morocco through a prospective study in a sample of 305 patients. Anthropometric, socioeconomic, and medical history characteristics of the study population were collected on a pre-established sheet. Obesity was assessed by calculating the body mass index (BMI). The patients had a blood pressure measurement and a biochemical assessment. The results obtained showed that the mean age was 52.82 ± 14.91 years, with a predominance of female gender (84.4%) and urban origin (74.8%). The average BMI of the sample was 30.33 ± 8 kg/m2. Obesity affected more than half of the patients (52%), with a female predominance (58%). Hypertension was present in 37.7% of patients, dyslipidemia was found in 63.9% of patients, while diabetes was present in 57.4% of patients in our series. The overall cardiovascular risk was high in 40.5% of patients in our series according to the Framingham model and 1.9% according to SCORE.

Abstract: (french)
Les maladies cardiovasculaires sont la première cause de la mortalité au Maroc et dans le monde. Plusieurs facteurs favorisant la survenue de ces maladies ont été identifiés. L’objectif de ce travail est d’estimer la prévalence des principaux facteurs de risque cardiovasculaire chez la population de la région d’Agadir-Maroc à travers une étude prospective chez un échantillon de 305 patients. Les caractéristiques anthropométriques, socioéconomiques, antécédents médicaux de la population étudiée, ont été recueillis sur une fiche préétablie. L’obésité a été évaluée par calcul de l’indice de masse corporelle. Les patients ont bénéficié d’une mesure de la pression artérielle et d’un bilan biochimique. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que l’âge moyen est de 52,82 ± 14,91 ans, avec une prédominance du sexe féminin (84,4%) et de la provenance urbaine (74,8%). L’indice de masse corporelle moyen de l’échantillon était de 30.33 ± 8 kg/m2. L’obésité a touché plus de la moitié des patients 52%; avec une prédominance féminine (58%). L’hypertension artérielle était présente chez 37.7% des patients, La dyslipidémie est retrouvée chez 63.9% des patients, tandis que le diabète était présent chez 57.4% des patients de notre série. Le risque cardiovasculaire global était élevé chez 40.5 % des patients de notre série selon le modèle de Framingham et 1.9 % selon SCORE. Cette étude a montré une prévalence très élevée des facteurs de risque cardiovasculaire, notamment l’obésité, l’HTA, et le diabète de type 2. Le résultat obtenu dans cette étude suggère une augmentation considérable des maladies cardiovasculaires dans les prochaines années.
