A Longitudinal Cohort Study to Evaluate Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Disease in Haiti
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Observational Study for Hypertension and 13 related conditions. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 3,005 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Investigators will establish a longitudinal cohort of \~3,000 adults \>18 years in Port-au-Prince using multistage random sampling, and follow them longitudinally to evaluate the prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular disease risk factors and diseases. Cardiovascular risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, kidney disease, poor diet, cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, and inflammation. Cardiovascular disease include angina and myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and CVD mortality. It is anticipated that hypertension prevalence will be ≥10% in 18-30 year olds, that hypertension incidence will be \>10 events/1000 person years. Association of determinants and risk factors with CVD will also be examined. Whole blood, serum, plasma, stool, and urine samples will be biobanked for future studies.
