Abstract
: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly population. This study aimed to determine the lifestyle modifications and cardiovascular risk factors among senior citizens in Baguio District, Davao City. A descriptive-correlational design was employed to collect data from 380 conveniently selected senior citizens. The study employed a modified questionnaire adapted from the Department of Health PhilPEN risk assessment tool (2022). Results showed that most of the respondents were aged 64-67 years old, female, married, elementary level, and with average income of 12,302-18,201 PHP. The lifestyle modification of the respondents included never tobacco use, never consuming alcohol intake, physical activity, nutritional and dietary assessment, anthropometric measurement which is the body mass index (BMI), along with clinical measures such as blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol levels. The findings reveal a significant association between demographic profile and cardiovascular risk factors in terms of sex and the findings reveal a significant relationship between lifestyle modification and cardiovascular risk factors that reveal anthropometric measurement in terms of BMI. Regular physical activity and a balanced diet were correlated with lower BMI, improved cholesterol profiles, and controlled blood pressure levels. Conversely, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption were linked to heightened CVD risks. The study highlights the critical role of lifestyle interventions in terms of body mass index mitigating cardiovascular risks among the elderly. It underscores the necessity for community-based programs to promote healthy behaviors and support senior citizens in adopting sustainable lifestyle changes. Future research should explore the long-term management and intervention in continuing and strengthening the NCD program in ages 20 years old and above of Baguio District and all districts belonging to Davao City.
