Background/Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of hypertension, dyslipidemia, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris on stress by cardiovascular diseases.
Methods/Statistical Analysis: The raw data from the Korea Health Statistics 2017: Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) Ⅶ-2 were used. A total of 6,458 out of 8,127 respondents were included, with the exception of 1,669 aged <20 years. The analyses were carried out by using an SPSS Version 20.0 program.
Findings: The group diagnosed with hypertension was more strongly correlated with stress than the group not diagnosed with hypertension (approx. 3.6 times, p<.001). It has been confirmed that hypertension among cardiovascular diseases is correlated with psychological, mental health related to stress. No statistical significance was found for the other items.
Improvements/Applications: The results of this study have demonstrated that hypertension among cardiovascular diseases is correlated with stress. Cardiovascular diseases can affect mental health (stress, depressive disorder, etc.); therefore, it is necessary to reinforce regular exercise and psychological relief programs. This is expected to help determine the morbidity of cardiovascular diseases and promote mental health.
