Cardiovascular and diabetic diseases at Huu Nghi Hospital in the past 10 years and related nutritional factors

Officers and cadres of various governmental bodies were subjected to this study conducted in Huu Nghi Hospital in the past 10 years (1991-2001). The incidence of cardiovascular and diabetic deseases increased following the anthropometric and nutritional increasing parameters. The mortality of cardiovascular diseases reduced considerably, the mortality of diabetes also reduce with no statistical significant. The incidence of diabetes and hypertension has a positive correlation with blood cholesterol and triglycerid high levels and with BMI and obesity
