Despite these gains, simultaneous control of all three risk factors reached only 17.2% at the final follow-up, and blood pressure and cholesterol control remained below Swiss national guidelines.
Glycemic control (fasting plasma glucose <7 mmol/L) improved from 23.2% to 32.8%, blood pressure control (<140/90 mm Hg) from 51.5% to 63.3%, and non-HDL cholesterol control (<3.4 mmol/L) from 29.1% to 56.3%. Simultaneous control of all three risk factors more than tripled from 5.5% to 17.2%. Men were less likely to achieve blood pressure control but more likely to control non-HDL cholesterol; Caucasians were less likely to achieve simultaneous control than non-Caucasians. Limitations include that the sample was recruited only in Lausanne and may not be representative of Switzerland, and HbA1c was only measured from 2014 onwards.
