Abstract :
Background Hypertension is a risk factor that may lead to
development of Atherosclerosis (ATS). Recent studies have emphasized on
the importance of high blood pressure and cholesterol on cardiovascular
diseases. Objectives This study aimed to simultaneously examine factors
that affect total cholesterol (TC), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and
diastolic blood pressure (DBP) using the mixed response model. Methods
This cross-sectional study comprised of 245 participants, hospitalized
at Shahid Madani state hospital, Khorramabad-Iran diagnosed with ATS in
fall and winter 2014. The method of sampling was convenience sampling
and the participants were selected through census of all the patients
hospitalized in different cardiac wards, except for angiography. Results
Systolic blood pressure was significantly associated with fasting blood
glucose (FBG) (P = 0.001), C - reactive protein (CRP) (P = 0.021),
erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (P = 0.004), and low density
lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) (P = 0.002). In addition, FBG (P=0.002),
CRP (P = 0.011) and LDL-C (P = 0.027) levels were significantly
associated with DBP. It was revealed that age (P = 0.016), smoking (P =
0.010), triglyceride (TG) (P = 0.001) and FBG (P = 0.021) were
significantly associated with TC. Conclusions Cardiovascular diseases
are highly prevalent and there are many risk factors. Therefore, it is
necessary to provide proper education on changing life style and
preventing the disease.
