In this descriptive study the perceptions and practices of community residents concerning three risk factors associated with coronary heart disease (obesity, inactivity, and stress) and their prevalence were assessed. One thousand questionnaires were randomly mailed to residents of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada with a response rate of 48.1%. The results suggest that all three risk factors under study could be contributing to the significantly higher mortality rates in Thunder Bay due to coronary heart disease (when compared to provincial norms). Programs should be developed in the community under study to promote awareness of cardiac risk factors and strategies developed to reduce these risk factors.
在这项描述性研究中，评估了社区居民对与冠心病相关的三个风险因素（肥胖、缺乏运动和压力）的认知与行为及其患病率。向加拿大安大略省桑德贝的居民随机邮寄了1000份问卷，回复率为48.1%。结果表明，所研究的这三个风险因素可能是导致桑德贝冠心病死亡率显著高于省级标准（相比省级标准）的原因。应在所研究的社区开展相关项目，以提高对心脏风险因素的认识，并制定降低这些风险因素的策略。
