Factors related to the Identification of Middle-Aged Women Who are Disadvantaged by Cardio-cerebrovascular Disease

Abstract: Results: Cardio-cerebrovascular disease among middle-aged women was associated with quality of life, menopause, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, and family history of hypertension. The incidence of cardio-cerebrovascular disease in middle-aged women was found to be the most prevalent in women who have entered menopause, have a family history of hypertension, and have a body mass index greater than 30.0 kg/m 2 .

“…The study results indicated that for the prevention and effective management of ischemic heart disease in middle-aged and older women, a customized program considering the characteristics of the subjects is intensively needed. The importance of women's health care after middle age is emphasized, but in most cases, a uniform program is applied by integrating factors affecting cardiovascular disease [7]. In previous studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], risk factors for ischemic heart disease were selected based on socioeconomic characteristics, some co-morbidities, and clinical test results.…”

“…The physical activity variable used the response to the question "Does your work or leisure activity involve moderate-intensity physical activity with a slight shortness of breath or moderately rapid heart rate for at least 10 min?" The clinical characteristic variables were composed of body mass index (BMI), menopause, family history, hypertension, stroke, arthritis, diabetes mellitus, depression, renal failure, and dyslipidemia, with reference to previous studies [7,10,[24][25][26]. BMI was classified as underweight for a value of less than 18.5 kg/m 2 , normal for 18.5 kg/m 2 or more and less than 25.0 kg/m 2 , and obesity for 25.0 kg/m 2 or more.…”
