Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors related to coronary artery disease in Korean adults. METHODS: This study analyzed cross-sectional data collected from 11,103 Korean adults aged 40 years and older who participated in Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey VI (2013~2015). Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Rao-Scott χ² test and logistic regression with IBM SPSS v.23. Logistic regression examined whether variables in 3 domains - socio-demographic, lifestyle and health related factors were associated with coronary artery disease. RESULTS: The prevalence of coronary artery disease was 3.16% of the population. Coronary artery disease was associated with older age, spouse, smoking, stress, obesity, poorer self reported health, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that comprehensive nursing intervention should include associated variables in order to reduce the prevalence of coronary artery disease.
