Purpose Cardiovascular disease risk factors have been associated with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in white and Hispanic populations. It is therefore relevant to determine if there exists a relationship between these parameters in the African population. Patients and Methods The design of the study was cross sectional. Prostate-specific antigen concentration, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), lipid profile, glucose level, and insulin level were determined in 153 patients with prostate cancer and 80 controls. The patients with prostate cancer were divided into subgroups of treatment-naïve patients and those receiving ADT. Results Mean total cholesterol ( P = .010), LDL cholesterol ( P = .021), BMI ( P = .001), and waist circumference ( P = .029) values were significantly higher in patients treated with ADT when compared with treatment-naïve patients. In patients treated with ADT for up to 1 year, only mean BMI was significantly higher than in treatment-naïve patients, whereas those treated with ADT for more than 1 year had significantly higher mean BMI, waist circumference, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol values when compared with treatment-naïve patients. There were no significant differences in insulin or glucose levels. Those undergoing hormone manipulation after orchiectomy had fewer cardiovascular risk factors compared with those undergoing hormone manipulation alone. Conclusion This study shows that ADT results in elevated total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, BMI, and waist circumference values, all of which are risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Screening for cardiovascular risk factors should be included in treatment plans for patients with prostate cancer.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in China. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the levels of cardiovascular health among Chinese adults and to understand the geographic patterns based on a nationally and provincially representative survey. Methods: In 2015, a total of 74,771 respondents aged ≥ 20 years with no history of cardiovascular disease were randomly sampled from 298 counties/districts of 31 provinces in mainland China and were interviewed. Seven metrics, including smoking, body mass index, physical activity, diet, total cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose, were determined. Ideal cardiovascular health was defined as the simultaneous presence of all metrics at the ideal level. A score ranging from 0 to 14 was calculated as the sum of all seven metrics for each province. Scores for four health behaviors and four health factors were also calculated. Results: The age-adjusted prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health was only 1.13% among Chinese adults above 20 years old in 2015 (0.50% among men and 1.77% among women; 1.63% among urban residents and 0.68% among rural residents). The age-adjusted prevalence varied greatly across provinces, ranging from 0.05% in Qinghai to 2.97% in Heilongjiang. Ideal diet (7.4%) was the least common among seven cardiovascular health metrics and ideal blood pressure (32.2%) was the second least one. We also saw significant heterogeneity among provinces in age-adjusted cardiovascular health score, health behavior score, and health factors score. In all provinces, women had higher scores than men for cardiovascular health, health behaviors and health factors. Differences in cardiovascular health and health behavior scores between urban and rural areas were associated with levels of socio-economic development. Conclusions: Strategies for addressing poor cardiovascular health require geographic targeting and localized consideration.
