Relationship Between Cardiovascular Disease Risk with Depression and Retirement in the Turkish Population
Abstract
Objective: The present study identifies the factors that can be linked to coronary artery disease, and evaluates the effect of retirement on the development of cardiovascular diseases in the Turkish population. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried in the Family Health Centers between March and July 2019. The data was collected using the Beck Depression Inventory and Framingham general cardiovascular disease risk assessment tool, sociodemographic form. Results: The mean Framingham risk score of the respondents was 6.440±7.509. A statistically significant relationship was identified between the Framingham risk score and income perception, monthly net income, occupation, educational status, marital status and employment (p<0.05). When the factors related to the Framingham risk score were evaluated, retirement was found to increase the Framingham risk score 13.991 fold (p<0.05). Conclusion: It is worthy of note that the risk of cardiovascular disease is high in the Turkish population. Retirement was found to be the most influential variable on the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. It is important to organize health training programs on the prevention of heart disease and to develop appropriate health policies.
