Analysis of cardiovascular and cerebral disease risk trends before and during the COVID-19 transition phase in Golestan province
摘要
Morbidity and mortality caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are increasing worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the risk assessment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases before COVID-19 and during the COVID-19 transition phase.
ResultsAmong 132,305 individuals (mean age: 50.11 ± 12.21 years), 65.84% were women. Regression analysis indicated that age, overweight, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol significantly increased 10-year cardiovascular disease risk (p < 0.001). No significant trend in risk levels was found between pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 transition periods (p = 0.063). Given the impact of these factors, national-level planning, appropriate policies, and intersectoral coordination are essential to reduce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk.
