Prevalence of chronic venous disorders and its risk factors among rural adults in Tamil Nadu, South India
CVDs are prevalent in rural Tamil Nadu, with varicose veins and telangiectasia being the most common. Parity of one or less and daily fruit intake were identified as factors independently associated with a lower odds of CVD. Public health interventions that promote healthy lifestyle choices, including weight management and improved dietary habits, could play a crucial role in preventing CVD in rural populations.
