Abstract
Introduction: The Framingham risk model estimates a person's 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study used this model to calculate the changes in sex- and age-specific CVD risks in the Hong Kong Population Health Survey (PHS) 2014/15 compared with two previous surveys conducted during 2003 and 2005, namely, PHS 2003/2004 and Heart Health Survey (HHS) 2004/2005.
Methods: This study included individuals aged 30 to 74 years from PHS 2014/15 (n=1662; n=4 445 868 after population weighting) and PHS 2003/2004 and HHS 2004/2005 (n=818; n=3 495 074 after population weighting) with complete data for calculating the risk of CVD predicted by the Framingham model. Sex-specific CVD risks were calculated based on age, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, mean systolic blood pressure, smoking habit, diabetic status, and hypertension treatment. Mean sex- and age-specific CVD risks were calculated; differences in CVD risk between the two surveys were compared by independent t tests.
Results: The difference in 10-year CVD risk from 2003-2005 to 2014-2015 was not statistically significant (10.2% vs 10.6%; P=0.29). After age standardisation according to World Health Organization world standard population data, a small decrease in CVD risk was observed, from 9.4% in 2003-2005 to 8.8% in 2014-2015. Analysis according to age-group showed that more participants aged 65 to 74 years were considered high risk in 2003 to 2005 (2003-2005: 66.8% vs 2014-2015: 53.1%; P=0.028). This difference may be due to the decrease in smokers among men (2003-2005: 30.5% vs 2014-2015: 24.0%; P<0.001).
Conclusion: From 2003-2005 to 2014-2015, there was a small decrease in age-standardised 10-year CVD risk. A holistic public health approach simultaneously targeting multiple risk factors is needed to achieve greater decreases in CVD risk.
介绍:弗雷明汉风险模型可估算一个人10年的心血管疾病(CVD)风险。本研究使用该模型计算香港人口健康调查(PHS)2014/15与2003年和2005年进行的两次人口健康调查(PHS 2003/2004和心脏健康调查(HHS)2004/2005)相比,不同性别和年龄的心血管疾病风险的变化:本研究纳入了《公共卫生调查2014/15》(样本数=1662;人口加权后样本数=4 445 868)、《公共卫生调查2003/2004》和《心脏健康调查2004/2005》(样本数=818;人口加权后样本数=3 495 074)中年龄介于30至74岁、数据完整的个人,用于计算弗莱明汉模型预测的心血管疾病风险。性别特异性心血管疾病风险是根据年龄、总胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平、平均收缩压、吸烟习惯、糖尿病状态和高血压治疗情况计算得出的。计算性别和年龄特异性心血管疾病风险的平均值;通过独立 t 检验比较两次调查之间心血管疾病风险的差异:2003-2005年至2014-2015年的10年心血管疾病风险差异无统计学意义(10.2% vs 10.6%;P=0.29)。根据世界卫生组织世界标准人口数据进行年龄标准化后,观察到心血管疾病风险略有下降,从2003-2005年的9.4%降至2014-2015年的8.8%。根据年龄组进行的分析表明,2003-2005年有更多65至74岁的参与者被认为是高风险人群(2003-2005年:66.8% vs 2014-2015年:53.1%;P=0.028)。这一差异可能是由于男性吸烟者减少所致(2003-2005 年:30.5% vs 2014-2015 年:24.0%;P=0.028):从2003-2005年到2014-2015年,年龄标准化的10年心血管疾病风险略有下降。要想进一步降低心血管疾病风险,需要同时针对多种风险因素采取综合公共卫生方法。
