Cardiovascular disease risk assessment in a rural population (>40 years)
Keywords:
cardiovascular disease, noncommunicable disease, risk prediction, rural population, WHO/ISH risk prediction chartAbstract
Context: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of death worldwide, although low- and middle-income countries are affected disproportionately. By 2020, it is estimated that there will be around 25 million deaths from Cardiovascular diseases globally,and out of that 19 million would be from middle- and low-income countries. Aims: The aim of this study was to estimate the 10-year risk of cardiovascular events among adults aged ≥40 years in a rural population of Meerut district using the World Health Organization (WHO)/International Society of Hypertension (ISH) risk prediction charts for SEAR-D region. Community based cross-sectional study, which was conducted from january 2021 to december 2021, in the rural areas of Meerut district. Methods and Material: Study was conducted on 397 subjects who were aged ≥40 years. Two sets of the WHO/ISH risk prediction charts, with and without cholesterol, for WHO SEAR-D region were used in this study. Statistical analysis used: SPSS, version 23 was used for data analysis. Results: By using the risk assessment tools, with and without cholesterol, 78.5 and 76.8%, of the population being studied were in the 10-year cardiovascular risk category with <10% risk, whereas 11.2 and 10.4%, were in the cardiovascular risk category of ≥20% risk.
