  1. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention HEART DISEASE Risk Factors & Prevention Kimberly A. Rogers, RN June 2013

  2. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention Section I: U.S. Disease Statistics

  3. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention U.S. Disease Statistics 25% of all deaths in the U.S. for all ethnic groups are caused by heart disease 600,000 people in the U.S. die each year of heart disease Over ½ of all heart disease deaths in the U.S. annually (385,000) are caused by coronary heart disease (Pasco County Population is 468,000) There are 935,000 heart attacks each year in the U.S. Coronary heart disease costs the U.S. economy $1.89 billion each year (Centers for Disease Control, 2013)

  4. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention Section II: Pasco County Statistics Demographic Summary Epidemiological &Statistical Data Health Status

  5. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention Pasco County Demographics Summary Pasco County is predominantly white, and non-Hispanic, as whites make up 90% of the population and people who identify themselves as Hispanic are 12% of the Pasco population, versus 22% statewide Pasco County high school diploma attainment is similar to the statewide rate Pasco County has a lower percentage of college degreed individuals than the state of Florida as a whole (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010)

  7. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention Epidemiological & Statistical Data Summary Hospitalizations and deaths from Coronary Heart Disease have dropped in Pasco County and statewide since the early 1990’s The rate of deaths from Coronary Heart Disease is still higher in Pasco County than the state as a whole for both males and females The rate of deaths from Coronary Heart Disease is higher for men than women, in Pasco County and statewide

  12. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention Health Status: Percentage of Adults with Hypertension in Pasco County in vs. Florida Statewide (Floridacharts.com, 2013)

  13. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention Health Status Summary Adults in Pasco County are more likely to smoke than their peers statewide Adults in Pasco County are more likely to be overweight or obese than their peers statewide Adults in Pasco County have similar incidence of high cholesterol as compared to their statewide peers Adults in Pasco County are more likely to have high blood pressure than their statewide counterparts The health status data summarized above all represent known risk factors for coronary artery disease (American Heart Association, 2013)

Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention Non-Modifiable Heart Disease Risk Factors Age (Increased Risk Above 65 Years of Age) Gender (Increased Risk for Males) Heredity (Increased Risk for African Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Some Asian Americans) (American Heart Association, 2013)

  16. Heart Disease Risk Factors & Prevention Modifiable Heart Disease Risk Factors Tobacco Smoke (Increases 2X – 4X above non-smokers) Second-hand Smoke Also Increases Risk High Blood Cholesterol Total Cholesterol Should be <200 mg/dL LDL Should be 100 mg/dL – 160 mg/dL depending on other risk factors High Blood Pressure (American Heart Association, 2013)
