Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease has been known to be related to socioeconomic status. The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD) risk and occupational status with the Pooled Cohort Risk Assessment equations which estimate 10-year primary risk.

Methods: We studied a total of 8,415 people between 40~79 years old who participated in the Korean National Health Examination and Nutrition Survey(KNHANES) 2010~2012. Occupational status was categorized into three groups: office workers, manual workers and other. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD) risk within the next 10 years was calculated with the Pooled Cohort Risk Assessment Equations.

Results: In comparison with manual workers and office workers, the ORs(95%CIs) for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD) risk was 0.158(0.126-0.197) in men and 0.453(0.389- 0.528) in women.

Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that occupational status was significantly related to ASCVD risk.
