AlQuaiz AM, et al. - Via conducting a cross-sectional survey among nearly 3,000 Saudi adults (men, n=968; women, n=2,029) who were selected from 18 primary healthcare centers from December 2014 to August 2015, researchers measured the differences in the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk based on Framingham risk scores (FRS) among men and women, and evaluated the association of FRS with sedentary life style, including physical inactivity, sitting time, and central obesity. The number of male participants with FRS scores ≥ 10 was nearly two-fold higher than that of female participants. Upon multivariable logistic regression model, which adjusted for education level and housing type, the investigators found that low physical activity, prolonged sitting time, and high central obesity were linked to high/intermediate CVD risk. In addition, women aged > 50 years had a higher prevalence for CVD risk vs men in the same age group.
