Abstract:

The study seeks to find out the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Level of the Division Office Personnel. The research looks at cardiovascular disease risk level as an individual’s, in this case, the respondent’s likelihood to develop a fatal or near-fatal cardiovascular incident or event in the next ten years. This pertains to a heart attack or a stroke that may result to death or a severe condition that may result to disability. The study eyes on the office-stationed personnel of the Schools Division Office of the Department of Education, Division of Bohol, located in Tagbilaran City, province of Bohol. Data is collected by means of a one-on-one interview between the researcher and the respondent using the modified risk assessment form as the instrument. During the interview, the researcher obtains necessary body measurements such as the height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure etc. These are taken on top of asking for the personal information and health history of each respondent. The entire process is an adaptation of the Philippine Package of Essential and Non-communicable Diseases (PhilPEN) Protocol of the Department of Health, a program centered on detecting, preventing, and mitigating the prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases in the community setting. The data obtained is then analyzed through the World Health Organization – International Society for Hypertension (WHO-ISH) Risk Prediction Chart for the West Pacific Region B. Individual blood pressure readings aligned with the age, sex, and smoking habits of the respondent will be the bases for deriving the cardiovascular risk assessment level expressed in percentages of less than 10% up to 30% or greater. The said percentage is the chance or likelihood of each personnel to experience a heart attack or stroke in the next ten years from the date of assessment. Commencement and completion of the study projects that a majority of the respondents will have a normal cardiovascular risk level. This implies that there is still much headroom for the maintenance and improvement of the health status of the division office personnel, and enough time for the detection and treatment of moderate and severe case.
