Background: The present study aims to find out the incidence
of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors based on the American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM) risk factor guidelines among group C employees of
Brihanmumbai municipal corporation. A cross-sectional survey with a sample size
representing the target population was conducted. The study employed a
structured questionnaire, ascertaining the risk factors of family history, lifestyle,
and physiological parameters. The ACSM risk factors are significantly
correlated with the incidences of CAD and are good indicators to predict the
likelihood of suffering from CAD. It further illuminates that cardiovascular
health for the bmc sector, especially for the identified risks, would need
specially targeted intervention programs. Despite numerous researches carried
out on the risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the general
population, some specific occupational groups have unique influences that
affect their cardiovascular health. Group C employees form one such group with
potential stressors linked to their work environment, lifestyle choices, and
physiological parameters.
Method: 103 group C Employees were included according to
inclusion and exclusion criteria between the age group of 20-60 years. Group C
employees were interviewed for demographic details, perceived stress questionnaire
& ACSM risk factor stratification
