Abstract:
Objectives To estimate the prevalence of the cardiovascular health (CVH) status in south Jiangsu adults. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, a total of 11 996 participants that took health examination in hospitals from March 2013 to August 2013 and live in south Jiangsu were selected. Results Totally 136 participants (1.1%) met all 7 ideal CVH metrics;while 27.6%participants met 5 to 7 ideal CVH metrics, women had higher proportion (47.2%) than men (16.9%). The percentage of participants who met 5 to 7 ideal CVH metrics, whether male or female, decreased with increasing age. Ideal total cholesterol (TC) was the most prevalent (72.0%), whereas ideal salt intake was the least (19.9%). The mean (± SD) number of ideal CVH metrics for urban participants was (3.61 ± 1.46), higher than the rural participants (3.45±1.49). Old age, male and residence in rural area were risk factors for ideal CVH metrics≥5. Conclusions The prevalence of ideal CVH was extremely low in South Jiangsu adults, and there were differences in the distribution of ideal CVH metrics across gender and age. To improve CVH, specific promotion and interventions at the population and individual levels should be developed and implemented actively.
