- The study focuses on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk management in India, emphasizing the importance of understanding risk factors, particularly hypertension, in a younger population in resource-limited settings.
- Using data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India, researchers calculated 10-year CVD risk scores for adults aged 45 and older, taking into account factors like socio-demographics, exercise, and history of diabetes.
- Results indicated that 68.8% of participants had a CVD risk score under 10%, with higher risks associated with being rural, poorer, and less educated, while urban dwellers and those who exercised regularly showed decreased risk.
