Using the WHO-ISH nonlaboratory chart, 49.5% of participants had <5% 10-year CVD risk, while alcohol, sedentary hours, and increased waist-hip ratio significantly increased risk (P<0.05).

What is the 10-year cardiovascular risk profile and its associated factors among participants in an urban area of Raipur using the WHO-ISH nonlaboratory chart?
In an urban community in Raipur, nearly half of the participants had low 10-year cardiovascular risk, with lifestyle factors like alcohol consumption and sedentary behavior significantly increasing risk.
p-value: p=<0.05
Summary Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with high morbidity, disability adjusted life years, and mortality. This community-based cross-sectional study assessed cardiovascular risk in 408 participants using the World Health Organization–International Society of Hypertension nonlaboratory chart which is useful in low-resource settings. The majority, 202 (49.5%), were in the Green Zone (<5% risk in 10 years). Mild risk (5%–10%) was found in 118 (28.9%), moderate risk in 81 (19.9%), and severe/very severe in 6 (1.5%) and 1 (0.2%), respectively. Ordinal logistic regression ( P < 0.05) revealed that living in extended families, alcohol consumption, sedentary hours, and increased waist–hip ratio significantly increased CVD risk. Being married showed a protective effect.
Pradhan et al. (Sat,) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular risk (n=408). World Health Organization-International Society of Hypertension nonlaboratory chart was evaluated on 10-year cardiovascular risk category (p=<0.05). Using the WHO-ISH nonlaboratory chart, 49.5% of participants had <5% 10-year CVD risk, while alcohol, sedentary hours, and increased waist-hip ratio significantly increased risk (P<0.05).
