Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are recognized as one of the most serious health problems worldwide. The aim of this study is to determine the social, economic, and cultural factors associated with cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are recognized as one of the most serious health problems worldwide. The present study aims to determine the economic, social, and cultural factors affecting cardiovascular diseases.
Methods: The method of the present study is a systematic review. To collect data, all available English articles were searched electronically in all databases using the following keywords: “non communicable diseases NCDs”, “economic impact”, “cardiovascular diseases”, “socioeconomic impacts”, “diseases”, “social and economic”, “social impact”, “culture Impact”, “impact of political”, "economic, socio-cultural”, “social determinants”, “social culture impact” between the years 2008 and 2024. To examine the data, a "Data Extraction Form" was used, which was designed based on the purpose of the present study. Out of 27,800 articles, 53 available articles were considered based on the title, and finally 33 articles were selected for study based on thematic relevance.
Results: After eliminating similar cases, 35 effective factors were identified, most of which were related to social factors with 18 cases (51%), economic factors with 10 cases (28%), and cultural factors with 7 cases (20%). Given that some findings were common between 2 or all 3 factors, experts from related fields (cardiology, epidemiology, health economics, health services management, and social medicine) were used to categorize them.
Conclusions: The results showed that 35 factors related to cardiovascular diseases between 2008 and 2024, of which social factors with 18 cases (51%), economic factors with 10 cases (28%), and cultural factors with 7 cases (20%) included the most cases. Therefore, it is suggested that the above factors be considered in the development and implementation of policies to reduce deaths from cardiovascular diseases.
