Background: Age is a non-modifiable risk factor for stroke occurrence due its influence on vascular risk factor acquisition. In sub-Saharan Africa, the effect sizes of vascular risk factors for stroke occurrence by age is unknown. Objective: To quantify the magnitude and direction of the effect sizes of key modifiable risk factors of stroke according to three age groups: <50years(young), 50-65 years(middle age) and >65 years(elderly) in West Africa. Methods: The Stroke Investigative Research and Educational Network (SIREN) is a multicenter, case-control study involving 15 sites in Ghana and Nigeria. Cases include adults aged ≥18 years with evidence of an acute stroke. Controls were age-and-gender matched stroke-free adults. Detailed evaluations for vascular, lifestyle, stroke severity and outcomes were performed. We used conditional logistic regression to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) of vascular risk factors of stroke. Results: Among 3,553 stroke cases, 813(22.9%) were young, 1441(40.6%) were middle-aged and 1299(36.6%) were elderly. Five modifiable risk factors were consistently associated with stroke occurrence regardless of age namely hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, regular meat consumption and non-consumption of green vegetables. Among the 5 co-shared risk factors, the effect size, aOR(95%CI) of dyslipidemia, 4.13(2.64-6.46), was highest among the young age group, hypertension, 28.93(15.10-55.44) and non-consumption of vegetables 2.34(1.70-3.23) was highest among the middle-age group while diabetes, aOR of 3.50(2.48-4.95) and meat consumption, 2.40(1.76-3.26) were highest among the elderly age group. Additionally, among the young age group cigarette smoking and cardiac disease were associated with stroke. Furthermore, physical inactivity and salt intake were associated with stroke in the middle-age group while cardiac disease was associated with stroke in the elderly age group. Conclusions: Age has a profound influence on the profile, magnitude and direction of effect sizes of vascular risk factors for stroke occurrence among West Africans. Population-level prevention of stroke must target both co-shared dominant risk factors as well as factors that are unique to specific age bands in Africa.

RESUMOObjetivos: avaliar as condições de saúde cardiovascular e identificar os fatores de risco modificáveis para doenças cardiovasculares em idosos. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal e descritivo com 246 idosos. Aplicou-se um formulário com questões abertas, referentes à identificação do paciente, relacionando dados sociodemográficos, fatores de risco e informações sobre as condições de saúde. Para análise dos dados, realizou-se o teste Qui-Quadrado de Pearson. Resultados: 75,7% dos participantes eram mulheres, 94,3% aposentados. O uso de bebidas alcoólicas, fumo ativo e passivo foram referidos, respectivamente, por 8,9%, 11,8% e 18,3% dos entrevistados. A pressão arterial esteve alterada em 58,6% dos idosos na primeira avaliação, 81,8% na segunda e 74,3% na terceira. Conclusão: foi possível traçar o perfil da saúde cardiovascular e dos fatores de risco modificáveis para as doenças cardiovasculares na população idosa, que subsidiarão de base para intervenções voltadas à promoção da saúde e prevenção dos agravos.

Method: descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study with 246 elderly subjects. A questionnaire with open questions regarding patient identification was applied, relating sociodemographic data, risk factors and information on health conditions. For data analysis, the Pearson Chi-Square test was performed. Results: 75.7% of the participants were women, 94.3% were retired. Alcohol consumption, active and passive smoking were reported, respectively, by 8.9%, 11.8% and 18.3% of respondents. Changes in blood pressure were identified in 58.6% of the elderly in the first evaluation, 81.8% in the second and 74.3% in the third evaluation. Conclusion: it was possible to outline the profile of cardiovascular health status and of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in the elderly population, which will support interventions aimed at health promotion and disease prevention.
