Trends over time in age-standardised prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in Senegal between 1975 and 2021 by sex: an ecological study from the WHO Inequality Data Repository.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveWe aimed to analyse the time trends of cardiometabolic risk factors in Senegal from 1975 to 2021.
designEcological study of publicly available data from the WHO Health Inequality Data Repository.
settingDisaggregated datasets from publicly available sources. PRIMARY OUTCOME: Trends of age-standardised prevalence rates, stratified by sex for tobacco use, obesity, diabetes and hypertension, were analysed for significance.
participantsOnly data from Senegal were included in this study.
resultsTobacco use decreased in both sexes between 2000 and 2021, from 1.7% to 0.7% (p value 0.04) in females and from 28.1% to 12.8% (p value 0.04) in males. Obesity and overweight increased in both sexes between 1975 and 2016, from 14.2% to 35.9% (p value <0.001) in females and from 7.2% to 19.5% (p value<0.001) in males. Diabetes increased in both sexes between 1980 and 2014, from 4% to 7.3% (p value <0.001) in females and from 3.6% to 7.5% (p value <0.001) in males. Between 1990 and 2019, hypertension increased in females from 39.1% to 42.9% (p value <0.001). The prevalence of hypertension in males first rose from 37.5% to 40.0% (p value <0.001), then decreased to 37.3% (p value 0.013).
conclusionOur findings highlight changes in cardiometabolic risk factors in Senegal between 1975 and 2020 by sex. While tobacco use declined, rates of obesity, diabetes and hypertension increased. These findings underscore the need for strategies to mitigate this increase in cardiometabolic risk factors and a consequential rise in non-communicable diseases.
