Cardiometabolic risk factors in Venezuela. The EVESCAM study: a national cross-sectional survey in adults
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading global cause of death [1]. High adiposity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and hyperglycemia are their most important risk factors. Between 1980 and 2010, the mortality burden of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF) shifted from high-income to low and middle-income countries [2].
