Prevalence and clinical risk factors of cardiovascular disease in patients with cancer: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of common cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their clinical risk factors among patients with cancer and to offer clinical evidence to help manage CVD within this population.

Methods

Patients with cancer who were aged ≥ 20 years were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2020. The prevalence of CVD and its components was analyzed using weighted analysis to obtain standardized prevalence. Subgroup analyses for gender and age were also performed. Lastly, the clinical risk factors for CVD in patients with cancer were identified by conducting multivariable logistic regression.

Results

A total of 1729 individuals diagnosed with cancer were included, among which 432 had CVD. W
