More patients treated for hypertension and diabetes

In Le Monde, Pr Claire Mounier-Vehier notes that she has to increase the doses of medication for her chronic cardiovascular patients, and even add new ones.

More patients treated for hypertension and diabetes

The number of patients being treated for hypertension and diabetes is rising. Reduced physical activity, a sedentary lifestyle and weight gain linked to confinement could be the causes. Over the months, collateral damage from the Covid-19 pandemic has accumulated among patients suffering from other pathologies. The prolonged upheaval in lifestyle habits could lead to an increase in cardiovascular disease, at a time when overweight and obesity are becoming the norm, since almost one in two French people is affected by one or the other... On the other hand, this rise in the consumption of medication to prevent cardiovascular disease could also be an effect of the health crisis, which has led part of the population to follow prescriptions more seriously, echoing messages about the need to preserve one's health. Which is rather positive!
