Implication

May signal rising CVD risk clustering in women; leaves open persistence and need for prospective studies.

Key Points

This research aims to analyze the prevalence of multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors among women in the U.S. during 1992 and 1995.
Utilized data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System in 1992 and 1995.
Evaluated self-reported data on multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Compared prevalence rates across age, education, and ethnicity.
In 1992, 28.1% of women had two or more risk factors; in 1995, this increased to 30%.
Statistically significant increases in two or more risk factors were observed in 7 out of 48 states.
Higher prevalence correlated with age, lower educational levels, and reporting cost as a healthcare barrier.

What is the prevalence of multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors among women in the United States in 1992 compared to 1995?

Population

Women in the United States in 1992 and 1995

Comparator

1992 vs 1995

Outcome

Prevalence of self-reported multiple cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (hypertension, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, overweight, and current smoking)

The prevalence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors among US women increased between 1992 and 1995, highlighting the need for multifactorial primary prevention.
