Community specific cardiovascular disease risk factor studies may be useful to evaluate genetic versus environmental causes. Agarwal is a high profile business community in India. A family based narrative from this community reveals a high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases- stroke and coronary heart disease. This is associated with high prevalence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors such as central obesity, hypertension, lipid abnormalities and diabetes. Another study in the same community in Jaipur reveals high prevalence of obesity associated with low physical activity and high dietary calorie and fat intake. Lifestyle factors appear to be mediator of the cardiovascular epidemic in this community.
针对特定社区的心血管疾病风险因素研究,可能有助于评估遗传因素与环境因素导致疾病的情况。阿加瓦尔是印度一个备受瞩目的商业社区。来自该社区的一份基于家族的描述显示,心血管疾病(中风和冠心病)的患病率很高。这与多种心血管风险因素的高患病率相关,如中心性肥胖、高血压、血脂异常和糖尿病。在斋浦尔同一社区的另一项研究表明,肥胖患病率很高,且与身体活动量低、饮食中卡路里和脂肪摄入量高有关。生活方式因素似乎是该社区心血管疾病流行的中介因素。
