BACKGROUND: We aimed to study the knowledge of vascular risk factors (VRFs) among @entity1 with @entity64 and the elements influencing this knowledge using analysis tools from the fields of social and health anthropology. METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional and observational study in a cohort of @entity1 who had suffered a @entity64 within the prior 3-12 months. Semistructured, in-depth interviews were conducted by a social anthropologist to evaluate @entity1 ' general knowledge of @entity23877 and specifically of their own @entity23877 . RESULTS: Overall, 96 @entity1 were included, 56.3% male, mean age 61.6 years. Nearly all @entity1 (97.9%) had at least 1 @entity23877 . When asked to name their VRFs, 45.8% named stress, 29.2% @entity2299 , 28.1% @entity101 , 28.1% cigarette smoking, and 13.5% @entity6 . The VRFs most frequently recognized by @entity1 as their own were stress, @entity101 , @entity2299 , cigarette smoking, and @entity299 . Only 15.6% acknowledged all their VRFs, while 52.1% acknowledged some of them and 32.3% failed to recognize any. Naming stress as a @entity23877 (odds ratio [OR]   =   .204; 95% confidence interval [CI]: .076-.553) was associated with a lower likelihood of acknowledging at least 1 @entity23877 , whereas working outside the home (OR = 11.314; 95% CI, 1.277-100.232) and having 2 or more VRFs (OR = 3.191; 95% CI, 1.032-9.875) were associated with a higher probability of correctly recognizing at least one of their own @entity23877 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity23877 knowledge is poor in @entity1 with @entity64 . Stress was the risk factor that @entity1 identified more frequently and it was associated with poorer knowledge of their own @entity23877 .
