144 Chapter 6 by risk factor and country income level. Patients with secondary or tertiary education were more likely to meet risk factor targets for smoking, physical activity, and LDL <1.8 mmol/L in HICs and LMICs, but they were less likely to meet risk the blood pressure target (in HICs). In UMICs,patients with secondary or tertiary education were more likely to meet physical activity, and triglycerides targets, yet less likely to have LDL <1.4 mmol/L (Table 3). Treatment Most patients were using antiplatelet (92.6%), antihypertensive (94.2%) and lipid-lowering (89.3%) medication. Half of the study participants participated in a cardiac rehabilitation Figure 1. Percentage of patients with information recorded, risk factors on target and treated. Note: Percentage of participants A) meeting risk factor targets, B) with information recorded on risk factors, and C) reporting to use medication and participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Risk factor targets are defined as: no smoking or smoking cessation, Moderately vigorous physical activity at least 30 minutes 3-5 times/ week, BMI <25 kg/m2, waist circumference <94 cm in men (<90cm in South-East Asian men) and <80 cm in women, blood pressure <140/90 mmHg (<140/85 mmHg in diabetics), LDL <1.8mmol/L, LDL <1.4mmol/L, non-HDL cholesterol <2.2 mmol/L, triglycerides <1.7 mmol/L, and Hba1c (in diabetic patients) <7%. Results on Hba1c recording, target attainment, oral hypoglicemics and insulin are calculated among diabetic patietns.
