Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an emerging public health problem characterized by premature onset and high mortality. The aim of the present study was to highlight the major risk factors responsible for CHD. Present study reveals a striking prevalence and risk factors in the population of district Hapur and Bulandshahr. Hypertension (χ2=9.81, d.f.=1, P=0.0024), dyslipidemia (χ2=8.58, d.f.=1, P=0.0034), diabetes mellitus (χ2=14.12, d.f.=1, P=0.0002) and tobacco smoking (χ2=12.91, d.f.=2, P=0.0016) were the most important risk factors responsible for the premature development of CHD. Low fruits-vegetables intake, physical inactivity are next important risk factors. These risk factors are highly prevalent in this region. Prevention and control of premature CHD needs urgent control of these factors. Improving lifestyle with tobacco cessation, diet with more fruits-vegetables and low fat intake, appropriate physical activity are important to decrease the risk of CHD. Target oriented good control of hypertension, dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia in addition to educating the general population about the dangers and preventive measures of the diseases are required.
