Summary Excerpt Details

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is seemingly becoming an immense challenge to the public health system. According to epidemiological reports, CVD has become the leading cause of disability and death worldwide, and it accounts for more than 2 million deaths in the United States. Over the past decade, the prevalence and incidence rates of CVD have been taking upward trends with stroke and heart disease being the most prevalent worldwide. In the US, it is estimated that 71.3 million adults are having one or more types of cardiovascular disease (Mensah & Brown, 2007). Therefore, this paper aims at providing a comprehensive epidemiological overview of CVD and design appropriate management and mitigation approaches that are suitable for local communities in addressing the disease.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive epidemiological overview of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to design appropriate management and mitigation approaches for local communities in addressing the disease.

  • The prevalence and incidence rates of CVD, with a focus on stroke and heart disease.
  • The major causes of CVD, including impaired glucose tolerance, dietary patterns, obesity, and lack of physical activity.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The introduction presents CVD as a significant public health challenge, outlining its prevalence and impact worldwide. The paper then explores the major causes of CVD, including impaired glucose tolerance, unhealthy dietary patterns, obesity, and lack of physical activity. Each of these sections presents relevant epidemiological studies and data.

The paper then focuses on key steps in addressing CVD, including medical interventions and policy changes. It emphasizes the importance of addressing modifiable risk factors through community-based interventions and provides a protocol for disseminating CVD information to local community leaders.

Finally, the paper provides recommendations for mitigating CVD in nursing home environments, focusing on promoting physical activity, monitoring blood pressure, and implementing prudent dietary and weight management programs.
