Suggests high clustering burden in rural Nepal; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes in similar settings.
Khanal et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease risk factors (n=345). Age 60-69 years vs. Age 40-49 years was evaluated on Clustering of at least three cardiovascular risk factors (OR 2.31, 95% CI 1.13-4.72, p=<0.05). In a rural Nepalese population, 63.4% of adults had at least three clustered cardiovascular risk factors, with individuals aged 60-69 years having 2.31 times higher odds of clustering compared to those aged 40-49 years.
