---

Smoking habits among middle-age and elderly in Indonesia is relatively high. The main objective of this study is to present the prevalence of Cardio Vascular Diseases (CVDs) and it’s risk factors (smoking and socio-demography) among middle-aged men in Indonesia.

Data for this analysis was a part of Basic Health Survey (BHS) 2007. Information on socio-demographic characteristics, history of CVDs and smoking behavior were obtained by highly-trained interviewers using a questionnaire which had been tested previously.

A sub-sample of the survey was 92226 males aged 45-97 years. There are tendency that more cigarette smoking and getting older increased risk cardiovascular disease. On the hand among people who had lower household expenditure had less risk to be cardiovascular disease. Compared with those did not smoke, those who smoke cigarette for 1 to 20 and 21 or more stick per day had 15% and 34% more risk to be cardiocardiovascular disease [adjusted relative risk (RRa) = 1.15; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.09-1.20; RRa= 1.37 ; 95% CI = 1.27-1.47 ] respectively. In term of age, compared with those age 45 to 54 years, those who aged 55-64, 65-74, and 75-97 years had 17%, 38%, and 83% to be cardiovascular disease (RRa = 1.19 ; 95% CI = 1.12 – 1.27; RRa = 1.37 ; 95% CI = 1.29 – 1.46; RRa = 1.94 ; 95% CI = 1.84– 2.04 ] respectively. In term level of household expenditure people with Household expenditure had 7% less to be CVDs (RRa = 1.10; 95% CI = 1.06 – 1.15
Older age and low house expenditure people and more number of cigarettes trend to increase risk CVDs. Self assessment of age, and number of cigarettes can be used to control the risk of CVDs.
