      the French Pacific Territory of Wallis Island.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Wallis Island is part of a French Territory in the South Pacific. In 
      1980 the prevalence of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was low, 
      consistent with a subsistence economy. Considerable social and economic changes 
      have occurred over the last 30 years. METHODS: Survey data from 1980 and 2009 
      were analysed by sex in 10-year age groups, and 25-64 years age-standardised to 
      the 2008 Census. Means and prevalences were calculated for blood pressure, 
      fasting plasma glucose, body mass index (BMI), blood cholesterol and 
      triglycerides as risk factors contributing to cardiovascular disease. RESULTS: 
      During 1980-2009 there were significant increases (p < 0.05) in age-standardised 
      means and prevalences of blood pressure and hypertension, fasting plasma glucose 
      and T2DM, BMI and obesity, blood cholesterol (men) and triglycerides; and 
      non-significant increases in mean diastolic blood pressure and fasting plasma 
      glucose in women. Mean cholesterol and the prevalence of elevated cholesterol 
      declined in women. Hypertension prevalence increased from 12% to 43% in men and 
      from 15% to 30% in women, with 42% of the increase in men and 33% of the increase 
      in women statistically explained by increases in BMI. T2DM increased from 2.3% to 
      12.2% in men and from 4.0% to 15.8% in women, with 35% of the increase in men and 
      26% of the increase in women statistically explained by increases in BMI. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors for cardiovascular disease have increased considerably 
      in Wallis Island over the past 30 years, consistent with modernisation in way of 
      life.
