Key result
Patients aged 40-64 years were significantly less likely to exhibit desirable health behavior compliance compared to those under 40 years old (OR 0.043).
Why the study?
CVD and CVD mortality have increased in South Korea, prompting the need to identify sociodemographic factors related to health behavior compliance among cardiac rehabilitation patients.
Cross-Sectional (n=314)

Age is a significant factor influencing health behavior compliance in cardiac rehabilitation patients, suggesting the need for tailored and flexible CR programs rather than monolithic ones.
Cardiovascular disease(CVD) and mortality from CVD have been increased among South Korean population due to westernized lifestyle and rapid social development. This study was conducted to identify the related sociodemographic factors of health behavior compliance among cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients. Participants included 314 CR patients of two different hospital of South Korea. Data were collected from "January, 1to February 24, 2015", and analyzed by -test and ANOVA, and binary logistic regression using SPSS 18.0 program. The health behavior compliance was not significantly different at gender, education level, occupation, monthly income, and marital state. However, there were significantly difference at variables of age, disease duration, and cohabitation (p < .005). Age was only causal variable to CR compliance according to binary logistic regression, and the group of 40-64 is less desirable approximately 0.04 times than age group of less than 40 (Exp. (B) = .043). These findings support that establishment tailored and flexible CR program would be effective for patient's CR compliance than monolithic program.

Lee Songheun (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease (Cardiac Rehabilitation) (n=314). Age 40-64 years vs. Age ≤39 years was evaluated on Health promoting behavior compliance (OR 0.043, 95% CI 0.010-0.179, p=<0.001). Patients aged 40-64 years were significantly less likely to exhibit desirable health behavior compliance compared to those under 40 years old (OR 0.043).
