| Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. This is true in all areas of the world except Africa. Together
they resulted in 17.9 million deaths (32.1%) in 2015, up from 12.3 million (25.8%) in 1990. Deaths, at a given age, from
CVD are more common and have been increasing in much of the developing world, while rates have declined in most of
the developed world since the 1970s. Coronary artery disease and stroke account for 80% of CVD deaths in males and 75%
of CVD deaths in females. Most cardiovascular disease affects older adults. In the United States 11% of people between 20
and 40 have CVD, while 37% between 40 and 60, 71% of people between 60 and 80, and 85% of people over 80 have CVD.
Since our literature review suggested that there has been significant relationship between the educational status and disease
condition, we extended our study results in knowing about the relationship of the same from the current study. This study
revealed us a strong relationship between the educational status and the disease. The coefficient of variation (P- value has
found to be 0.003). This significant relationship between the disease status with respect to education status is shown in the
graph no. 3. Like every other study, our study has some limitations and drawbacks too. Since it is a questionnaire based
study, we had to stick on the responses of patients but couldn’ t assess the novelty of their responses. For questionnaire
based cohort study like this, we would recommend to decode the responses based on the answers from the patients rather
than giving them clearly differentiable strands of responses to choose.ddd |
