Abstract:
:Data from the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted in 1976-1980, were analyzed for the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (cigarette smoking, serum cholesterol, and blood pressure) among 2,342 premenopausal women ages 20-44 years, stratified by oral contraceptive use. For oral contraceptive users and non-users, adjusted means were serum cholesterol, 205 vs 188 mg/dl (P less than 0.05); systolic blood pressure, 116 vs 113 mm Hg (P less than 0.01); and diastolic blood pressure, 74 vs 73 mm Hg (NS). The prevalence of cigarette smoking was significantly higher among oral contraceptive users (44% compared with 36% among nonusers; P less than 0.05). Using the 1984 NIH Consensus Development Conference Statement on Lowering Blood Cholesterol to define risk levels for serum cholesterol, 23% of the oral contraceptive users were at high risk compared with 12% of the nonusers, and 16% of the oral contraceptive users vs 11% of the nonusers were at moderate risk. For users and nonusers, the respective prevalence of a blood pressure at or above 140/90 mm Hg was 5.3% vs 8.8% (unadjusted) and 8.6% vs 8.0% (age adjusted). The percentage of women with multiple risk factors was also higher among oral contraceptive user; 14% of the users had two or more risk factors vs 7% of the nonusers (P less than 0.05). These cross-sectional national data support data from clinical studies regarding the effect of oral contraceptives on cholesterol and blood pressure levels. In addition, since the use of oral contraceptives is widespread in the population and users tend to see physicians more regularly than other women, the data suggest that users of the pill are a good target group among which to screen and monitor cardiovascular risk factors.
