[Cancer of the breast and uterine cervix: knowledge level and preventive practices in a segment of the Tunisian population].

Women get most of their information about gynaecological cancers from their encourage. Breast cancer is more frequently recognised than cervical cancer. Nevertheless, for both cancers, risk factors and opportunities for screening are rarely identified by women. Generally, most women would like information about cancer and the majority is in favour of screening. However, the absence of preventive practice by health professionals is a problem. Changes in health professionals' attitudes are required to enhance women's participation in screening programmes, particularly in primary health care.

[The triad obesity, hypertension and glycoregulation complaints in a suburban population of Tunisia's Sahel].

Obesity, hypertension and glucose intolerance are often related, the relationship between hypertension and glycemia is well documented and may be explained through hyperinsulinemia. Most of the studies were conducted in western societies. The simultaneous study of this triad in a random sample (n = 555) of a suburban adult community of Tunisian's Sahel, showed an association between hypertension and level of overweight which was also related to diabetes prevalence after matching for age and sex. However serum glucose was related to both systolic and diastolic blood pressure only for non obese subjects, when levels of overweight are stratified. The association between diabetes and hypertension therefore involves different mechanisms for obese and non obese subjects.
