Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between KOSHA’s cardiovascular disease risk assessment and the predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease developed by Jee.
Subjects and Methods : Data were obtained from a structured questionnaire survey and medical examination of 509 male workers aged 30-59 years employed at a wallpaper and floor covering workplace in May 2008. We calculated KOSHA’s cardiovascular disease risk assessment and Jee’s predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease. A high risk of cardiovascular disease was defined as the upper 10th percentile of Jee’s predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal Wallis test and a logistic regression model.
Results: Jee’s predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease significantly increased as KOSHA’s cardiovascular disease risk increased. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the group with 3 or more cardiovascular disease risk factors according to KOSHA’s model was more likely to experience cardiovascular disease within 10 years(OR=34.4, 95% C.I.=4.4-267.2).
Conclusions: KOSHA’s cardiovascular disease risk assessment was fairly well associated with Jee’s predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease and was believed to be a practical and convenient method of preventing cardiovascular disease at the workplace.
