Health-related variables and its health promoting Lifestyle predictors in cardiovascular disease patients

The principal cause for death in the world is cardiovascular disease which leads to the death of 71 million people every year. Poor lifestyle is a contributing element in this regard. The present study aims at assessing the effects of health-related variables and lifestyle variables on the results of exercise in patience with cardiovascular disease. This is a cross sectional descriptive study. Patients were divided randomly into two groups based on the results of exercise stress test: positive exercise test (771 patients) and negative exercise test (771 patients). Patients’ lifestyles were assessed with a standardized questionnaire; Health promotion lifestyle profile- II .SPSS-22 software and chi-square tests and logistic regression were used for data analysis Based on the logistic regression analyses, the risk of positive exercise stress test increases with age. The age group above 56 years were 741.1 times more at risk of positive exercise stress test compared with age group of less than .6 years. The people with hypercholesterolemia were 745.6 times more at risk of positive exercise stress test compared with group without hypercholesterolemia. In addition, the patients with hypertension were 74611 times more at risk of positive exercise stress test compared with the group without hypertension. Lack individual health responsibility (OR: 74522), stress management (OR: 74612) and physical activity (OR: 742.6) contributed more to the positive exercise test compared with other risk factors Educational interventions can improve the responsibility for health, physical activity and stress management among people with cardiovascular disease risks.
