Incidence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in an Indian Urban Cohort
Key Result
In a young, urban Indian cohort followed for 6.9 years, the annual incidence of hypertension was 4.2% in men and 1.8% in women, while diabetes incidence was 1.0% in men and 0.5% in women.
Key Points
This research aims to evaluate the incidence of various cardiovascular risk factors among an urban population in India.
Conducted a cohort study among an urban population in India.
Analyzed cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes.
Calculated prevalence rates and projected future trends.
Reported a significant rise in coronary heart disease prevalence over the last two decades.
Estimated an increase from 2.26 million CVD deaths in 1990 to 4.77 million in 2020.
Indicated a growing burden of cardiovascular disease as a major health concern.
Study Design
Type
Cohort (n=1,100)
Structured PICO
P
Population
1,100 young urban Indian adults from the New Delhi Birth Cohort, followed for a mean of 6.9 years to assess the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors.
O
Outcome
Incidence of cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia) over a 7-year period.surrogate
There is a rapid increase and high incidence of cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes in young, urban Indian populations.
Limitations
Small sample size with a relatively narrow age range limits generalizability.
Cohort is composed of participants from an upper middle-class urban neighborhood, which does not represent rural Indian populations.
Minor differences in selected baseline risk factors between participants and nonparticipants may have biased the results.
Data reflect incidence of risk factors, which may or may not lead to actual cardiovascular events.
Abstract
India has one of the highest burdens of cardiovascular disease (CVD) worldwide. The annual number of deaths from CVD in India is projected to rise from 2.26 million (1990) to 4.77 million (2020) (11). Coronary heart disease prevalence rates in India have been estimated over the past several

Huffman et al. (Fri,) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, hypertension, diabetes) (n=1,100). Urban Indian environment and lifestyle transition vs. Baseline (Phase 5) was evaluated on Annual incidence of cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, hypertension, diabetes). In a young, urban Indian cohort followed for 6.9 years, the annual incidence of hypertension was 4.2% in men and 1.8% in women, while diabetes incidence was 1.0% in men and 0.5% in women.
