ABSTRACT

Introduction: Aging is an inevitable part of life, but it is also the most significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Purpose: A cross-sectional study is conducted in tertiary care hospitals to determine the prevalence and quality of life for young people with cardiovascular disease. Method: 407 participants in a six-month trial were recruited in 2022. Demographic information, clinical features, the Life's Simple 7 scale, and the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire were all collected. Three health variables and four health behavioural components are included in the Life's Simple 7 scale. The four dimensions of a WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire included environment, social relationships, psychological health, and physical health. Results: A little over half (64.9%) of the 407 patients, were men. The majority of young adults (54.1%) had average cardiovascular health, which was followed by optimal cardiovascular health (42.5%). There were notable differences in the patients' overall cardiovascular health depending on their disease type. Patients who are women generally have a lower physical quality of life than patients who are men. Gender has an impact on pain, as women experienced issues with it more frequently than males. Conclusion: The type of disease and cardiovascular health have a significant association. Cardiovascular disease patients have deteriorated cardiovascular health.
