Prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors in high-risk Kyrgyzstan population as compared to Indians − An Indo-Kyrgyz cardiometabolic study
Our study highlights significant differences in the prevalence of traditional CVRFs between high-risk populations in Kyrgyzstan and India. Higher rates of tobacco consumption, hypertension, and diabetes in Kyrgyzstan signify the immediate need for targeted interventions to address these modifiable risk factors. Targeted public health programs focusing on these lifestyle modifications and efficacious management of CVRFs are crucial to reduce the burden of cardiovascular deaths in both countries.
