Abstract

            This observation and crossectional study aimed to examine whether the major and minor risk factors predicted the risk level for developing CVD in person with hypertension. Participants were 492 patients attending four rural health promotion hospital in Nakhon Si Thammarat. CVD risk levels were classified into mild, moderate and high-risk groups based on the Framingham Global Risk Scoring algorithms. CVD risk scoring was calculate based on each individual six major risk factors included age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesteral (CHO), diabetes (DM), and smoking. Only one minor risk factor was negatively correlation Minor risk factors were boy mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride. Logistic regression analysis was used to test the predictive model with an odds ratio and 95% confident interval.  

            We found that two-fifth of the sample were at the high-risk level, three-fouth had hypertension stage 1. Over a half were older adult, had high cholesteral, hyperglycemia and low HDL. One-fouth (23.9%) of the high-risk group were current smokers. Univarite model found that all six major risk factors were positivtly correlated with high-risk level. Increment risk was found in advanced age, higher SBP, higher CHO, lower HDL, DM and smoking. Only one minor risk factor, waist circumference (WC) was negatively correlated with a high-risk level. Persons with abdominal obese had lower risk than those with normal waist. A model of the major risk factor was accounted for 82.5% of the variance explained on the high risk for CVD. When the four minor risk factors were added to the major risk factors model, the variance of the predictive model was increased to 84.1%.

            This study suggests that health care providers should develop CVD risk prevention program in persons with hypertension by reduce of these major and minor risk factors. Raising risk awareness

should be more consider in non-elder and non-obse, those who had higher risk for developing CVD.
