Key result
Over ~87% of Chinese adults aged ≥45 carry at least one cardiovascular risk factor.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease is the most prevalent and debilitating disease in the Chinese population, but up-to-date nationwide estimates of main CVD risk factor prevalence were needed.
What is the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factor clustering in Chinese adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=17,708)
Yes
What is the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factor clustering in Chinese adults?
Clustering of CVD risk factors is highly prevalent among middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults, highlighting a significant health burden.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Substantial clustering signals elevated CVD burden in Chinese adults; leaves open longitudinal studies to inform prevention.
Yang et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease risk factors (n=17,708). Cardiovascular disease risk factors was evaluated on Prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors. Among Chinese adults aged ≥45 years, the prevalence of having 1, 2, 3, or ≥4 cardiovascular risk factors was 30.5%, 29.8%, 19.7%, and 7.4%, respectively.
