This risk can be reduced by addressing modifiable risk factors. The objectives of this study were to assess the modifiable risks for CVD amongst persons with diabetes and identify the factors associated with multiple risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study was conducted amongst 357 diabetic patients attending a large tertiary hospital in Southwest Nigeria. Eligible patients were recruited consecutively on clinic days till the minimum sample size was reached. An interviewer-administered survey tool adapted from the World Health Organization STEPS was used to obtain information from study participants. The following risk factors were assessed: tobacco use, obesity, high blood pressure, physical activity, sedentary time and hours of sleep. Data were analysed using the STATA version 15.0 (Stata Corp.) statistical programme.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age of the participants was 61.7 \u00b1 12.6 years, and they were mostly females (63.9%). Of the risk factors assessed, the most prevalent modifiable risk factors amongst the respondents were inadequate sleep \u2013 &lt;8 h on average (91.6%), abdominal obesity (82.6%) and high blood pressure (72%). Others were inadequate physical activity (56%) and lifetime tobacco use (21%). Up to 40.3% of the diabetic persons had three or more co-existing CVD risk factors. Age, gender, work and marital status (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2264 0.01) were statistically associated with multiple CVD risk factors.

Abdominal obesity and poor sleep were the most prevalent. Older men who are unmarried were more likely to have multiple risks. Primary and secondary preventive measures to address CVD risks amongst diabetic patients are warranted and should target older unmarried men.<\/jats:p>\n
