A comparison of perceived and objective CVD risk in a general population.

M Niknian1, S M McKinlay, W Rakowski, R A Carleton.   

Abstract

This report examines correspondence between perceived and objective (American Heart Association's RISKO) risk of heart attack and stroke in a randomly selected sample from two surveys (n = 4,171) conducted in each of two New England cities, in 1981-82 and 1983-84, respectively. Results confirmed prior reports that people tend to underestimate their CVD (cardiovascular disease) risk and showed that estimates of those at lowest risk were most accurate.
