Purpose-the目的本研究的目的是探讨冠心病（CHD）的风险认知，危险因素的状态，与CHD的风险认知在韩国移民与2型diabetesmellitus.MethodsA社区样本的143名韩国成年人与2型糖尿病，年龄在30至80岁，完成问卷调查和生物措施。多元回归分析冠心病知识、一般健康状况、吸烟、冠心病危险因素药物治疗、人口学变量之间的关系（自变量），以及对CHD风险的感知结果参与者对冠心病风险的认知较低，大多数人（76.9%）表示，他们的风险与一般人口中相同年龄和性别的人相同或更低。总体而言，根据美国糖尿病协会指南，CHD危险因素控制不佳。只有41.3%的参与者达到了HbA 1c低于7%的目标。超过一半（55%）的人血压不受控制，相似比例（53.6%）的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇高于目标目标。冠心病知识和自我报告的一般健康状况影响冠心病风险的看法。更多的冠心病知识和健康状况不佳与更高的感知冠心病risk.ConclusionsTo增加的感知冠心病的风险在韩国移民与2型糖尿病，糖尿病教育工作者和临床医生应该教育这样的患者冠心病的危险因素，并讨论他们的风险状况，在每次访问。那些报告自己健康状况良好的人值得特别关注。
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to examine coronary heart disease (CHD) risk perception, risk factor status, and factors associated with CHD risk perception in Korean immigrants with type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsA community sample of 143 Korean adults with type 2 diabetes, aged 30 to 80 years old, completed questionnaires and biological measures. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationships between CHD knowledge, general health, smoking, medications for CHD risk factors, demographic variables (independent variables), and the perception of CHD risk (dependent variable).ResultsParticipants had low perception of CHD risk, with most (76.9%) indicating their risk to be the same or lower than people of the same age and sex in the general population. Overall, CHD risk factor control was suboptimal according to American Diabetes Association guidelines. Only 41.3% of participants met the HbA1c goal of less than 7%. More than half (55%) had uncontrolled blood pressure, and a similar proportion (53.6%) had higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol than the target goal. CHD knowledge and self-reported general health influenced the perception of CHD risk. More CHD knowledge and poor general health were associated with higher perception of CHD risk.ConclusionsTo increase the perception of CHD risk in Korean immigrants with type 2 diabetes, diabetes educators and clinicians should educate such patients about CHD risk factors and discuss their risk status at every visit. Those who report their health to be good deserve particular attention.
