Coronary prone behaviour pattern and risk of coronary heart disease: a case-control study
1Dept of Preventive and Social Medicine, Govt. Medical College, Nagpur.
Insights
Coronary prone behaviour pattern (CPBP) is a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). Individuals with CPBP were over three times more likely to have CHD in this Nagpur study.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Behavioral Science
- Public Health
Background:
- Coronary heart disease (CHD) poses a significant global health burden.
- Understanding behavioral risk factors is crucial for effective CHD prevention strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the association between coronary prone behaviour pattern (CPBP) and coronary heart disease (CHD).
- To quantify the risk and population impact of CPBP on CHD in a specific population.
Main Methods:
- A pair-matched case-control study design was employed.
- 186 cases of CHD and 186 matched controls were included.
- Coronary prone behaviour pattern (CPBP) was assessed and compared between cases and controls.
Main Results:
- A significant association was found between CPBP and CHD (Odds Ratio = 3.23).
- The attributable risk proportion (ARP) for CPBP was 69.04%, and population attributable risk proportion (PARP) was 16.93%.
Conclusions:
- Coronary prone behaviour pattern (CPBP) is identified as a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD).
- CPBP contributes substantially to the burden of CHD in the studied population, highlighting the need for behavioral interventions.
Abstract:
A pair-matched case-control study was carried out at Govt. Medical College Hospital, Nagpur, to investigate association between coronary prone behaviour pattern (CPBP) and coronary heart disease (CHD). The study included 186 cases of CHD and equal number of controls matched for age, sex and socioeconomic status. CPBP identified to be significantly associated with CHD (OR = 3.23, 95% CI 1.73-6.02). The estimates of attributable risk proportion (ARP) and population attributable risk proportion i(PARP) were calculated to the 69.04 (42.19-83.38) and 16.93 (6.25-31.45) respectively. This study thus identified CPBP as a significant risk factor of CHD in this population.
