Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: India is experiencing an epidemiological transition from communicable diseases to non communicable with cardiovascular diseases as a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. India suffers the highest loss in potentially productive years of life, due to deaths from Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs). As a target for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) India aims to achieve a 25% relative reduction in the risk of premature mortality from Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), cancer, diabetes or chronic renal disease. Risk profiling of the people provides relevant results that can be used for various preventive strategies. Objectives: 1.To study the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among adults attending urban health and training centre of Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad. 2. To estimate the risk of cardiovascular event using WHO/ISH risk prediction charts among the study participants. Methodology: A cross sectional study was carried for five months from July to November 2017. The sample size included 243 adult males and females from the urban field practice area of a tertiary care hospital. WHO/ISH risk prediction charts were used for estimating the risk of a major cardiovascular event. Results: The prevalence of Hypertension, Diabetes and tobacco consumption was around 35%, 23% and 19% respectively. Males had a higher prevalence of tobacco and alcohol consumption (P<0.01). Almost equal proportion of males and females were found to be Overweight/Obese (BMI > 25 kg/m2 ) with overall prevalence of 56.38% among study participants. The estimated 10 year risk of cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction or stroke) was <10%, 10% to <20%, 20% to <30%, 30% to <40% and >40% in 67.9%, 16.5%, 9.4%, 4% and 2.2% of study subjects respectively.
