This study was conducted to estimate proportion of individuals undergoing screening for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors and to identify predictors of CVD, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol screening.
This cross-sectional study was conducted in 48 primary healthcare centers in Saudi Arabia and 14,239 participants were enrolled. The analysis was performed in SPSS version 26 and adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% Cis were reported.
Blood pressure screening was reported by 35.3%, cholesterol screening by 9.3%, and cardiovascular screening by 3.7%. Significant positive predictors for blood pressure screening included older age (50-75 years: AOR 1.34, 95% CI: 1.20-1.50; ≥75 years: AOR 2.12, 95% CI: 1.84-2.43), being married (AOR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.04-1.27), non-smoking (AOR: 1.97; 95% CI: 1.79-2.17), physical activity (AOR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.05-1.28), and diabetes (AOR: 2.14; 95% CI: 1.88-2.44). For cholesterol screening, significant positive predictors were older age (≥75 years: AOR 1.89, 95% CI: 1.56-2.29), unemployment (AOR: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.10-1.45), insurance coverage (AOR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.33-1.74), smoking (AOR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.14-1.53), diabetes history (AOR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.09-1.61), and hypertension (AOR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.36-2.02). For cardiovascular screening, significant positive predictors included older age (≥75 years: AOR 1.81, 95% CI: 1.35-2.43), unemployment (AOR: 1.53; 95% CI: 1.24-1.88), insurance coverage (AOR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.27-1.92), smoking (AOR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.52-2.34), diabetes (AOR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.41-2.43), and high cholesterol (AOR: 1.76; 95% CI: 1.31-2.36).
A very low proportion of Saudi residents have undergone blood pressure, cholesterol, and CVD screening. Common predictors of screening included older age, insurance coverage, diabetes, hypertension, physical activity, and high cholesterol levels. Low prevalence of screening is alarming, and Saudi Government needs to implement strategies that can help increase proportion of Saudi residents who receive blood pressure, cholesterol, and CVD screening.
本研究旨在估计接受心血管疾病（CVD）及其危险因素筛查的个体比例，并确定CVD、血压和血液胆固醇筛查的预测因素。
本横断面研究在沙特阿拉伯的48个初级医疗保健中心进行，共纳入14239名参与者。分析在SPSS 26版本中进行，并报告调整后的优势比（AOR）和95%置信区间。
报告进行血压筛查的比例为35.3%，胆固醇筛查为9.3%，心血管筛查为3.7%。血压筛查的显著正向预测因素包括年龄较大（50 - 75岁：AOR 1.34，95% CI：1.20 - 1.50；≥75岁：AOR 2.12，95% CI：1.84 - 2.43）、已婚（AOR：1.15；95% CI：1.04 - 1.27）、不吸烟（AOR：1.97；95% CI：1.79 - 2.17）、进行体育活动（AOR：1.16；95% CI：1.05 - 1.28）和患有糖尿病（AOR：2.14；95% CI：1.88 - 2.44）。对于胆固醇筛查，显著正向预测因素为年龄较大（≥75岁：AOR 1.89，95% CI：1.56 - 2.29）、失业（AOR：1.26；95% CI：1.10 - 1.45）、有保险覆盖（AOR：1.52；95% CI：1.33 - 1.74）、吸烟（AOR：1.32；95% CI：1.14 - 1.53）、有糖尿病史（AOR：1.33；95% CI：1.09 - 1.61）和患有高血压（AOR：1.66；95% CI：1.36 - 2.02）。对于心血管筛查，显著正向预测因素包括年龄较大（≥75岁：AOR 1.81，95% CI：1.35 - 2.43）、失业（AOR：1.53；95% CI：1.24 - 1.88）、有保险覆盖（AOR：1.56；95% CI：1.27 - 1.92）、吸烟（AOR：1.89；95% CI：1.52 - 2.34）、患有糖尿病（AOR：1.85；95% CI：1.41 - 2.43）和高胆固醇（AOR：1.76；95% CI：1.31 - 2.36）。
沙特居民中接受血压、胆固醇和CVD筛查的比例非常低。筛查的常见预测因素包括年龄较大、有保险覆盖、患有糖尿病、高血压、进行体育活动和高胆固醇水平。筛查的低患病率令人担忧，沙特政府需要实施能够帮助提高接受血压、胆固醇和CVD筛查的沙特居民比例的策略。
