The purpose of this study was to determine if cardiovascular (CV) nurses exhibit lower coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors than the nation. The CHD risk factors measured were: prehypertension, hypertension, elevated total cholesterol, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, increased waist circumference (WC), cigarette smoking, and the presence of diabetes. When compared to US national averages, CV nurses in northeast Ohio demonstrated lower rates of smoking and abdominal obesity. No significant differences were found in cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, incidence of diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. These CV nurses did demonstrate higher blood pressures when compared to national averages for prehypertension. These findings illustrate a need to address CV nurses' specific CHD risk factors.
本研究的目的是确定心血管（CV）护士的冠心病（CHD）风险因素是否低于全国水平。所测量的冠心病风险因素包括：高血压前期、高血压、总胆固醇升高、高密度脂蛋白（HDL）胆固醇水平低、腰围增加（WC）、吸烟以及糖尿病的存在。与美国全国平均水平相比，俄亥俄州东北部的心血管护士吸烟率和腹部肥胖率较低。在胆固醇、HDL胆固醇、糖尿病发病率或代谢综合征方面未发现显著差异。与高血压前期的全国平均水平相比，这些心血管护士的血压确实更高。这些发现表明有必要解决心血管护士特定的冠心病风险因素。
