| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Introduction: Cardiovascular disease burden has been increasing globally. The risk was greater in low-middle-income countries than in developed countries. The objective of the study was to assess the ten years CVD risk among the health camp attendees. Methods: Physiometric measurement of the 159 participants was used as data. The major variables were height, weight, systolic blood pressure, gender, and smoking. WHO non-laboratory-based CVD risk chart was used to analyze data. Results: The mean age (SD) of the participants was 45.64 (±13.97) ranging from 19 to 82 years. The majority of participants (99, 62.3%) were female, Brahmin/Chhetri (93, 58.5%), and 20 (12.6%) were smokers. The mean systolic BP (SD) was 121.84 (±19.3) mmHg ranging from 90 to 200, among this 62.9% of participants had less than 120 mmHg. Similarly, the mean body mass index (SD) was 25.3 (±5.1) ranging from 16.6 to 38.8, out of this 42.8% had a body mass index of 20-24. Regarding the ten years CVD risk of participants, the majority (76.1%) had very low CVD risk followed by 14.5% low risk, and 9.4% had a moderate risk. There was no high and very high CVD risk found among participants. Ten year CVD risk had strong positive relation (r=0.795) with age and a moderated positive relation (r= 0.519) with systolic BP at 0.01 level of significance. Conclusion: CVD risk was lower among the participants who were female, non-smoker, systolic BP <140, and normal body mass index. Therefore, priority should be given to those who are smoker and abnormal SBP and BMI. Keywords: Cardiovascular disease; health camp attendees; non-laboratory risk chart; risk assessment | |
