Risk factors of CVDs among residents of resource-limited rural settings. Preliminary findings based on a cross-sectional study, Ghana
The risk factors associated with CVD were identified to be multiple and interacted variable among rural community dwellers. These factors included marital status, exercise, employment, perception of health, and listening to the radio. We recommend implementing primary prevention strategies that involve adopting a comprehensive assessment and management of the risk factors of CVD in Ghana.
