Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the degree of awareness of early symptoms of stroke and myocardial infarction in adults diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes, and to analyze factors related to unawareness. Raw data from the 2017 Community Health Survey were utilized. A total 12,277 adults older than 40 years were included in analysis finally. The early symptom awareness rates of stroke and myocardial infarction were 53.6% and 46.8%, respectively. Logistic analysis was performed to assess factors associated with unawareness of early symptom of stroke and myocardial infarction. After correcting for socio-demographic variables, education for the management of hypertension, recognition of blood pressure level and HbA1c level were significantly related to stroke early symptom unawareness on multivariate analysis. (Education for the management of hypertension, recognition of blood pressure level and HbA1c level were significantly related to the unawareness of early stroke symptoms even after socio-demographic variables were corrected in multivariate analysis.) Recognition of blood pressure level and HbA1c level were also significantly associated with unawareness of early symptoms of myocardial infarction. Therefore, it is required to interventions and strategies to improve the level of awareness of early symptoms of cardio-cerebrovascular disease, such as accelerating promotion and strengthening education for high-risk groups who must manage both hypertension and diabetes.
