The clinical guideline recommends home monitoring for hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia maintenance therapy. The study aimed to compare the 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk calculated using systolic blood pressure, fasting totalcholesterol, and fasting blood sugar measured at the clinic and home. This analytical cross-sectional study was done in population from villages in Sleman District, Yogyakarta. The subjects were selected purposively with the criteria of 40-79 years old and signing the informed consent. The home-measured systolic blood pressure was monitored with a digital sphygmomanometer and peripheral finger-stick methods for cholesterol and blood sugar. On the same occasion, the clinic measurements were monitored with a mercury sphygmomanometer for systolic blood pressure, and with venous plasma analyzed in the laboratory for cholesterol and blood glucose. Measurements between methods were compared with paired T-tests. The subjects (n=171) had a mean age of 52.6 (8.1) years; 21.6% were male. The systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and blood glucose from clinic and home measurement were 130.0 (21.1) mmHg and 137.6 (22.4) mmHg (p<0.001); 202.8 (32.8) mg/dl and 205.2 (44.8) mg/dl (p= 0.44); and 98.5 (42.9) mg/dl and 91.9 (34.6) mg/dl (p<0.001) respectively. The average ASCVD risks of the clinic and home measurements were 6.4 (6.2)% and 7.1 (6.9)% (p<0.001); however, both methods had the same ASCVD risk category at borderline risk (5-<7.5%). Conclusion: The ASCVD risk scores calculated using clinic and home measurements were statistically different.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
