Age Group Differences in the Awareness of Lifestyle Factors Impacting Cardiovascular Risk: A Population-Level Study

Objective: This study evaluated the age-group differences in the levels of awareness of cardiovascular lifestyle risk factors.Methods: Data from 5,219 individuals were analyzed. Age was classified as young, middle-aged, and older adults. Lifestyle factors included smoking, exercise, noting calorie i...

description Objective: This study evaluated the age-group differences in the levels of awareness of cardiovascular lifestyle risk factors.Methods: Data from 5,219 individuals were analyzed. Age was classified as young, middle-aged, and older adults. Lifestyle factors included smoking, exercise, noting calorie information, and alcohol. The Chi-square (Χ2) test was used to analyze age-group differences in awareness. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between age group and level of awareness.Results: Awareness of at least one lifestyle factor was highest in middle-aged adults at 47.8% (2232/5095), followed by young adults at 32.1% (991/5095) and older adults at 20.1% (1872/5095). The older age group was linked to an increment in the odds ratios (AOR: 1.47, CI: 1.06 to 2.03) of being aware of exercise recommendations. There was a significant association between the middle-aged (AOR 0.74, CI: 0.56 to 0.99) and older-aged (AOR 0.76, CI: 0.58 to 0.99) categories with reduced odds of individuals becoming increasingly aware of the calorie information found in various menu boards and food menus.Conclusion: Middle-aged adults were the most aware of lifestyle risk factors. Middle-aged or older adults are associated with being less aware of calorie information on food menus and menu boards. Further research should evaluate the reasons behind low levels of awareness in younger adults.
