CVD screening is an effective strategy for identifying and reducing
risk in high risk individual thus provide significant role in
preventing and controlling CVD. National Health and Morbidity
survey in 2006 showed that hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia,
obesity, smoking and physical inactivity among Malaysian population
had a steady increase in prevalence. So this study was conducted to
determine the prevalence of optimal cardiovascular screening
activities and its associated factors among apparently healthy
school teachers.The prevalence of optimal cardiovascular screening
activities was 29.3% (95% CI: 24.52, 34.08). The significant
associated factors for optimal CVD screening were age (p =0.026),
knowledge on CVD screening (p =0.009), family history of CVD (p
=0.048) and availability of health facilities (p =0.003). The
prevalence of optimal screening activities was still low that needs
more attention. Therefore, the health care providers should widely
implement global health assessment rather than disease orientated
in their daily practice since half of the significant factors can
be modified.
