Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and its distribution in terms of socioeconomic factors among women living in Rio Grande, RS. A cross-sectional population-based study, with the inclusion of women aged over 18 years. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariable Poisson Regression analysis was performed. The outcome was defined as Knowing three or more of the seven risk factors studied (75th percentile). Of 1,593 respondents, 33.0% knew three or more factors. The outcome was independently associated with increased likelihood of knowledge in subjects with age group 25-44 years old, non-white skin color, complete secondary education, higher income and having cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, sedentary women were less likely to have that knowledge. These findings indicate the need for educational activities for better knowing and understanding factors associated with cardiovascular disease among women, particulary in those worse-off and less educated.
