Logistic Regression Analysis To Determine Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Factors A Hospital-Based Case-Control Study, 2019.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the preventable causes of death in the world since the majority of its risk factors are controllable. A hospital-based case-control study was conducted and carried out in Gezira state (Wad Medani heart Centre ), Data collection lasted for almost one year (From 2018 To 2019), via structured face-to-face interviews of 800 patients in Wad Medani heart hospital, A several of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases were measured on 750 patients cases and 50 patients control. A Binary logistic regression model was adopted to examine the multiplicative effects of Pathological, socio-economic and demographic variables as explanatory variables. The study showed that the most important causes leading to cardiovascular diseases are smoking with (9.84) times odds, followed by patients suffering from renal diseases with (6.19) times odds, in addition to drinking alcoholic with (3.62) times odds. The study recommended not smoking, avoiding alcohol and dealing well with chronic diseases.
