# African Hypertension & Cardiovascular Disease Dataset
## Screening, Risk Stratification, and CVD Event Prediction

**Version:** 1.0  
**Release Date:** November 2024  
**Context:** Sub-Saharan Africa (25-35% adult HTN prevalence, 70-80% undiagnosed)

## Abstract

We present synthetic datasets for hypertension and cardiovascular disease modeling in Sub-Saharan Africa, addressing the leading cause of stroke and heart disease. With HTN prevalence of 25-35% (urban: 30-45%) and 70-80% undiagnosed, early screening is critical. The datasets incorporate risk factors with documented ORs: obesity BMI >30 (OR 3.50), age >60 (OR 4.20), family history (OR 2.80), high salt intake (OR 2.40), diabetes (OR 2.30), physical inactivity (OR 1.80). CVD event modeling includes stroke (OR 3.80 for HTN), MI (OR 2.50), and heart failure (OR 3.20). Five datasets (21,000 samples total, 5.8 MB) provide configurations for community screening, urban high-risk cohorts, and CVD event prediction. Models trained on these data are expected to achieve AUC-ROC >0.82 for HTN prediction and >0.80 for CVD risk, serving as proof-of-concept for primary care screening algorithms.

## Key Features

### Risk Factors (ORs)
- Obesity (BMI >30): OR 3.50
- Age >60 years: OR 4.20
- Family history: OR 2.80
- High salt intake: OR 2.40
- Diabetes: OR 2.30
- Physical inactivity: OR 1.80
- Heavy alcohol: OR 2.10
- Urban residence: OR 1.95

### CVD Events
- Stroke: OR 3.80 (HTN vs normal)
- Myocardial infarction: OR 2.50
- Heart failure: OR 3.20

### African Context
- **70-80% undiagnosed**
- **5-15% controlled** among diagnosed
- **15-35% on medication**
- **Stage 2 HTN** (≥140/90): Most common presentation
