Abstract

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in many developing countries, including Bangladesh. A stratified random sampling with proportional allocation technique was used to collect data from elderly people from urban, rural, and ethnic areas of the Sylhet region. A total of 230 (110 women and 120 men) people aged 60 years or above from the above mentioned areas were included in this study. A multiple logistic regression model was used to evaluate major risk factors associated with CHD for this sample group. The prevalence of CHD was higher for males than females, at 47.80% and 52.20% for females and males, respectively. Elderly people in urban areas were significantly (AOR = 4.03; 95% CI: 1.22–3.29) more likely to have CHD as compared to elderly persons living in rural areas. Elderly persons of ethnic origin were found to be less likely to suffer from CHD (AOR = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.01–0.17514.69) in comparison to urban elderly. The risk factors smoking (44.8%) and hypertension (51.3%) were also positively associated with CHD. Elderly persons who reported to exercise regularly were found to have 89% (AOR = 0.11, 95% CI: 0.03–0.50) less risk of suffering from CHD as compared to those who did not exercise regularly. The findings of this study further indicated that factors such as a high BMI (overweight/obese), high sugar intake, high soft drink consumption, diabetes, and mental stress have a significant influence on CHD.
