Methods A simple random sampling method was used to select the elderly aged 60 years and above in a community of Xining from September 2022 to September 2023 as the study subjects. General demographic characteristics, prevalence of cardiovascular disease, living habits and activity status were collected by questionnaire. Demographic characteristics and life behavior habits were compared between the diseased and non-diseased groups, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Results A total of 784 subjects, 259 (33.04%) suffered from cardiovascular disease, with coronary heart disease and hypertension being the most common. In terms of disease risk, males were 1.378 times higher than females, non-income groups were 1.394 times higher than income groups, receiving health education/popular science < 1 time/month groups were 1.533 times higher than ≥ 2 times/month groups, combined diabetes or obesity groups were 1.490 times and 1.470 times higher than non-diabetes or obesity groups, salty fresh taste groups were 1.690 times higher than light taste groups, fresh fruit intake frequency ≤ 3 times/week groups were 1.492 times higher than ＞7 times/week groups, smoking ≥ 30 cigarettes/month groups were 2.257 times higher than non-smoking groups, drinking ≥ 2 liquors or 500 ml beer/day groups were 1.569 times higher than non-drinking groups, irregular physical examination habits groups were 1.619 times higher than regular physical examination habits groups, aerobic exercise did not reach the standard groups were 1.454 times higher than the standard groups.
