Abstract

Objectives: To determine some related factors of common cardiovascular diseases in elderly people in Bac Me district, Ha Giang province in 2021. Subjects and methods: A Cross-sectional study on 700 elderly people in Bac Me district. Subjects were screened and tested (electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, serum biochemical tests) to diagnose some common cardiovascular diseases and collected information about related factors. Results: The risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in groups of subjects using alcohol regularly was 2.1 times higher than that in the non-drinking groups. Subjects with dyslipidemia had a 1.5 times higher risk of CVDs than the other group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that 4 factors were statistically significant with cardiovascular diseases, including age, smoking, Cholesterol-total index, and LDL-c index. When the Cholesterol-total index and  LDL-c index increased by 1 unit (1 mmol/L), the risk of cardiovascular disease increased by 4.8 and 5.3 times, respectively. In addition, for every 5 years of age increase, the risk of CVDs increases by 5.4 times. Subjects with smoking had a 19.5 times higher risk of CVDs than the non-smoking group. There was no association between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference/hip ratio (WHR), Triglycerides index, HDL-c index, diabetes and CVDs in the elderly. Conclusion: The risk of some common cardiovascular diseases increases with age. The results of this study suggest that : Age, smoking, Hypercholesterolemia, and high LDL-c are risk factors of some common cardiovascular diseases in the elderly.
