[THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS OF RISK FACTORS, CARDIOVASCULAR RISK, CHRONIC NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN YOUNG AND...

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Public Health
• Epidemiology

Context:

• Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) pose a significant global health burden.
• Understanding the influence of socioeconomic factors like education on CVD risk is crucial for targeted prevention strategies.

Purpose:

• To investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and overall cardiovascular risk (CVR).
• To examine the association between educational attainment and cardiovascular risk in young and middle-aged adults.

Summary:

• The study found that individuals with higher education exhibited lower cardiovascular risk and better control of hypertension.
• Higher education was associated with reduced prevalence of overweight and a greater likelihood of smoking cessation compared to those with secondary education.
• Gender differences were observed in cardiovascular risk, with specific trends related to smoking and education levels.

Impact:

• Findings highlight the importance of considering educational level as a key factor in identifying individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease.
• Results can inform public health interventions and clinical practice to improve cardiovascular health management across different socioeconomic groups.
