Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality globally. Over 75% of CVD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.
To assess the 10-year CVD risk among adults aged 30 years and above attending the outpatient department at a Taluk Hospital, Bangalore Urban District, Karnataka.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 217 subjects above 30 years of age attending the hospital. They were selected by consecutive sampling and administered a face-validated interview schedule. WHO/ISH CVD risk assessment tool was used to categorize them into four categories of CVD risk. Additional risk factors like alcohol use and smoking were also assessed.
The mean age of the subjects was 55.7 ± 12.3 years. About 65% of the study population had low risk (<10%), 21.2% had mild risk (10%-20%), 9.7% had moderate risk (20%-30%) and 4.1% had high risk (>30%) according to the World Health Organization/International Society of Hypertension (WHO/ISH) CVD risk assessment tool. In the study population, 4.6% were abusing alcohol as per the CAGE questionnaire.
The burden of CVD risk among the adults interviewed was high. The WHO/ISH chart is an inexpensive tool that can be used for screening in a regular OPD.
心血管疾病(CVD)是全球主要的死亡原因。超过75%的心血管疾病死亡发生在低收入和中等收入国家。
评估在卡纳塔克邦班加罗尔市区一所Taluk医院门诊部就诊的30岁及以上成年人的10年心血管疾病风险。
对在该医院就诊的217名30岁以上的受试者进行了一项横断面研究。通过连续抽样选取他们,并对其进行了经面部效度验证的访谈问卷。使用世界卫生组织/国际高血压学会(WHO/ISH)心血管疾病风险评估工具将他们分为四类心血管疾病风险。还评估了饮酒和吸烟等其他风险因素。
受试者的平均年龄为55.7±12.3岁。根据世界卫生组织/国际高血压学会(WHO/ISH)心血管疾病风险评估工具,约65%的研究人群风险较低(<10%),21.2%有轻度风险(10%-20%),9.7%有中度风险(20%-30%),4.1%有高风险(>30%)。在研究人群中,根据CAGE问卷,4.6%的人酗酒。
接受访谈的成年人中,心血管疾病风险负担较高。WHO/ISH图表是一种可用于在普通门诊部进行筛查的廉价工具。
