Abstract:
Objective To study the changes of risk factors of cardiovascular disease in the rural community population after intervention. Methods The Beijing Fangshan cardiovascular prevention program was a community-based comprehensive intervention study which was launched from 1991 and ended in 2000 in five communities including three as intervention communities (IC) and two as control communities (CC) in Fangshan, Beijing suburb. The intervention measures were focused on health education and hypertension control. The changes of risk factors of cardiovascular disease in IC and CC were analyzed using random sample in the year 1991, 1995 and 1999, respectively. The risk factors include systolic and diastolic blood pressure(SBP and DBP), body mass index(BMI), serum total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL), smoking, and drinking. Results From the year 1991 to 1999, the risk factors of cardiovascular disease such as SBP, DBP, smoking rate and drinking rate were reduced in the population of IC. For male in IC, the decline of SBP, DBP, smoking rate, and drinking rate were 1.6 mmHg, 1.1 mmHg, 14. 5% ( P ＜ 0. 01) and 3.7%, respectively. For female of IC, SBP and DBP declined 4.8 mmHg ( P＜0.01) and 3.2 mmHg ( P ＜0. 01), respectively. SBP, DBP and smoking rate in the population of CC had a little reduction while BMI, TC and TG increased in both IC and CC. During the period of 1991 to 1999, most cardiovascular risk factors in the population of IC had net reduction compared to that of CC. Conclusions Except for BMI and lipids, rural community intervention, as focused on health education and hypertension control, has resulted in the reduction of most risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
