Abstract 59: Prevalence of Major Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Cardiovascular Diseases Among Vulnerable Population of a Safety Net Hospital [Poster Session I]

In conclusion, findings from the study demonstrate the pervasive burden of CVD risk factors in vulnerable groups compared with the national trends. These data may enhance the impetus to implement interventions to lower burden of CVD risk factors among overall and targeted at-risk groups, as well as develop strategies to prevent future development of adverse CVD risk factors starting at the youngest age.
