“…Another important aspect is the respondents' perception of the risk of developing a CVD or diabetes in the next ten years. According to previous data, there is often a tendency to underestimate the risk of coronary heart disease among patients [91], an aspect also confirmed in our study. It was also previously observed that women have a greater perception of severity regarding various risk factors [91].…”

“…According to previous data, there is often a tendency to underestimate the risk of coronary heart disease among patients [91], an aspect also confirmed in our study. It was also previously observed that women have a greater perception of severity regarding various risk factors [91]. In this case, this was not confirmed; the perception of women was similar to that of men when we referred to those with at least three CMR factors present.…”

Polyphenols and Cardiometabolic Health: Knowledge and Concern among Romanian People

et al. 2023

The cardiometabolic health of the population is a crucial indicator of public health, considering the significant impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes on global mortality. Determining the population’s knowledge and the predictors of these pathologies is essential in developing effective educational and clinical strategies for the prevention and management of cardiometabolic risk (CMR). Polyphenols are natural compounds with a multitude of beneficial effects on cardiometabolic health. This study explored the current knowledge, understanding, and awareness of CMR, the benefits of polyphenols among Romanians, and how sociodemographic and clinical characteristics influence this aspect. Five hundred forty-six subjects responded anonymously to an online questionnaire designed to assess their knowledge. The data were collected and analyzed based on gender, age, education level, and BMI status. Most respondents expressed concern to a great or very great extent about their health (78%) and food (60%), with significant differences (p < 0.05) depending on age, educational level, and BMI status. Of the respondents, 64.8% declared that they were familiar with the CMR term. Still, the results showed a weak correlation between the stated risk factors and the self-assessment of increased risk (r = 0.027) for CVD or diabetes. Only 35% of the respondents reported a good or very good knowledge of the term “polyphenols”, 86% recognized the antioxidant effect, and significantly fewer (26%) recognized the prebiotic effect. Developing and implementing targeted educational strategies to enhance learning and individual behaviors related to CMR factors and the benefits of polyphenols is necessary.

“…One recent research article is suggestive of cultural differences in risk accuracy among participants with one risk factor for cardiovascular disease in that participants who chose to complete the survey in Spanish were more likely to underestimate their risk for cardiovascular disease than participants who chose to complete the survey in English (Wright, Barnhart, & Freeman, 2010).…”

Heart attack risk perception biases among hypertension patients: The role of educational level and worry

Risk biases such as comparative optimism (thinking one is better off than similar others) and risk inaccuracy (misestimating one's risk compared to one's calculated risk) for health outcomes are common. Little research has investigated racial or socioeconomic differences in these risk biases. Results from a survey of individuals with poorly controlled hypertension (N=813) indicated that participants showed (1) comparative optimism for heart attack risk by underestimating their heart attack risk compared to similar others, and (2) risk inaccuracy by overestimating their heart attack risk compared to their calculated heart attack risk. More highly educated participants were more comparatively optimistic because they rated their personal risk as lower; education was not related to risk inaccuracy. Neither race nor the federal poverty level was related to risk biases. Worry partially mediated the relationship between education and personal risk. Results are discussed as they relate to the existing literature on risk perception.

“…Слично несагласје резултата присутно је и у студијама које су се бавиле испитивањем свести учесника о ризичном понашању. Тако у истраживању спроведеном у Немачкој није утврђена повезаност старости са свешћу о ризику за болести срца и крвних судова 14 , док резултати америчке студије показују нижи ниво свести међу испитаницима старијим од 65 година 15 . Могуће тумачење наших резултата јесте у чињеници да старији становници у Србији лошије оцењују сопствено здравље у целини 16 , што је, према појединим доказима из литературе, позитивно повезано са свешћу о кардиоваскуларном ризику 14 .…”

За разлику од других студија где није доказана значајна повезаност полне припадности са знањем о факторима ризика 13,15 или свешћу о ризичном понашању 14 , према нашим резултатима жене су чешће препознавале сопствено ризично понашање, што отвара простор за даља истраживања. Повезаност образовања и кардиоваскуларног ризика добро је документована.…”

Увод. Свест о сопственом кардиоваскуларном ризику неопходан је фактор у модификацији ризичног понашања. Циљ рада. Испитивање повезаности између демографских и социјалноекономских детерминати са перцепцијом сопственог ризичног понашања које води ка повећаном кардиоваскуларном ризику. Метод. За потребе овог рада коришћена је база података Истраживања здравља становника Републике Србије из 2006. године. Истраживање је обухватило 14.522 становника старости ≥20 година. Учесници са претходном историјом кардиоваскуларних и цереброваскуларних догађаја искључени су из нашег истраживања. За испитивање повезаности између перцепције ризичног понашања као зависне варијабле и животних навика, демографских и социјално-економских варијабли коришћена је мултиваријантна логистичка регресиона анализа. Резултати. Од 12.868 испитаника укључених у нашу студију, 16,7% је сматрало да својим понашањем доприноси повећаном кардиоваскуларном ризику. Перцепција сопственог ризичног понашања које води повећаном кардиоваскуларном ризику била је повезана са старошћу, припадношћу
