Analysis of Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease among Adults Living in Rural Areas of India: A Survey

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a collective term for issues with the heart, blood vessels, and other organs. High blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, excessive fat, obesity, or inactivity are the primary risk factors. The research shows that 30–40% of all fatalities are caused by cardiovascular illnesses, while there is limited information on the frequency of heart disease in India. Cross-sectional research looked at how stress affected the cardiovascular system. The SPSS program and Likert Scale were used in the current study to gather 100 participants. The author acquired information about demographics, diet, alcohol use, smoking, as well as drinking habits using a standardized questionnaire. The finding shows Stress and cardiovascular disease were strongly positively statistically correlated (r = 000, p < 0.005), and alcohol use and CVD were also highly statistically correlated (r = 00.1, p < 0.005). According to the result, stress and alcohol consumption is positively correlated with cardiovascular disease. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the risk factor of CVD among adults in rural areas in India. In the future, this paper will make the reader aware of health factors that can reduce the risk of heart disease.
