Abstract:
Background: Vigilance towards adaptation of healthy life style as a preventive prototype is barely
sufficient. Aim: To potentiate cognizance regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Method: Data about risk factors of 3000 participants was collected from rural and urban areas.
Meanwhile, a prospective data of ACS was collected for a period of two months in both settings.
Results: In urban areas, results show dominance in cases of DM with 90% prevalence, HTN with 86%
prevalence and sedentary life style with 90.2% prevalence relative to rural areas. Smoking was common among males with 97% predominance. Trend of BMI was higher in females comprising of 75% cases. All risk factors were linked with data of ACS concluding 290 STEMI cases in urban areas with only one case in rural area. Interim, STEMI is three times in males than in females.
Conclusion: Increasing trend of sedentary life style and smoking along with greater incidence of DM,
HTN resulting into cardiovascular events. We should prefer natural healthy life style rather than sedentary life style.
