Abstract
To demonstrate impact of modifiable risks for cardiovascular disease in Thai population, we conducted a two years case-control (1: 2) study, from June 2016 to June 2017. The study was conducted in 11 Thai provincial hospitals. Case-control study was used to demonstrate the odds ratio of the risks. 995 cases of newly diagnosed cardiovascular disease within 1 month were enrolled with 997 control cases. Both groups were matched for age range of 35 to 80 years. The results of this study, Thai patients with cardiovascular disease, found that age and socioeconomic factors were associated with cardiovascular disease. Family history of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) had very high association with cardiovascular disease. Important behavioral factors include smoking, especially having more than 20 pack-years, lack of physical activity and greasy food consumption were associate with cardiovascular disease. The study could not demonstrate the associated with alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease. The results suggested that Thai cardiovascular disease might have more association with family factors and behavioral factors. The modifiable risk in Thai are stop smoking and promote adequate physical activity.
