Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be a predominant worldwide contributor to illness and death.
Objective: To determine cardiovascular risk assessment among general population of District Sialkot.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from May- October2024 among general population of District Sialkot. 384 participants from were recruited through non probability purposive sampling technique. A modified standardized tool “cardiovascular risk assessment questionnaire” was used. It has two parts. Part 1 for the respondent and part 2 for the practitioner. Data was collected after approval of institutional review board and written informed consent was obtained from each participant. SPSS version 26 was used to analyze the data. Frequency and percentages were calculated for the qualitative characteristics, such as gender, marital status, education level, employment status and total cardiovascular risk. Mean and standard deviation was used for the quantitative variables, such as age, income and BMI.
Results: The mean age of the respondents was 41.7 +12 years and majority of them 76.8% were married. Only 24(6.3%) attendants were categorized as low risk for cardiovascular diseases. Majority of the participants 133(34.6%) were assessed as having moderate risk of cardiovascular diseases. High risk for cardiovascular diseases were labelled to a good number of participants 104(27.1%). Participants123(32.0%) were with very high risk.
Conclusion: Majority of the participants were assessed as having moderate risk of total cardiovascular risk assessment. High risk for cardiovascular diseases were labeled to a good number of participants. Less than half of participants were with very high risk
