“…A Korean study using FRS confirmed the factors affecting FRS by sex [ 14 ], and another study identified the factors influencing middle-aged women’s lifestyle habits according to their FRS level that affect their 10-year cardiovascular disease risk [ 15 ]. Other studies have explored the relationship between FRS and carotid intima media thickness [ 16 ] and the relationship between the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool and FRS [ 17 ]. The findings of these studies suggest the need for a large-scale prospective study.…”

This study aimed to identify people at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) using the Framingham risk score (FRS) and to examine their willingness to modify their lifestyle. A descriptive correlational study with 1229 participants, aged 30–74 years, without cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases who visited a health examination center in South Korea was conducted. Of 1229 participants, 455 were identified as high risk for CVD with an FRS of 10 or higher. A logistic regression analysis confirmed age, sex, muscle training, and weekly drinking frequency as predictors of intention to quit smoking; age, smoking, and waist to height ratio (WHtR) as predictors of intention to quit drinking; sex and WHtR as predictors of intention to engage in physical exercise; and hypertension and body mass index as predictors of intention of muscle training. People at high risk for CVD lack willingness to modify their lifestyle, and aggressive, customized intervention is needed to promote lifestyle modification.
