Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Young People in Haiti: Implications for Low-Income Countries
Prevalence of high BP and dyslipidemia are alarmingly high in Haitian young adults, with higher rates of dyslipidemia in women and elevated BP in men. These data provide evidence for routine CVD screening in young people as early as 18 years and underscore the need to identify modifiable drivers of early-onset CVD.
