Ten-Year Risk of Fatal Cardiovascular Disease and its Association with Metabolic Risk Factors Among Waste Pickers in South Africa

Abstract: Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among non-communicable diseases in South Africa. Several metabolic risk factors contribute to the development of CVD. Informal workers such as waste pickers could be unhealthy lifestyle naive, and most public health research on CVD does not include this understudied population. This study estimated the 10-year risk of fatal CVD and its association with metabolic risk factors in an understudied study population of waste pickers in Johannesbur… Show more

“…The outcome result of the multivariate regression model outperforms other methods. Made et al (34) surveyed CVDs estimating 10-year risk in the different age groups of people. They proposed a SCORE model that uses risk factors, such as weight, BP, cholesterol level, smoking habit, diabetes, and many more.…”
