Given the importance of early prevention in addressing cardiovascular disease, further investigation into this potential connection is essential.

Participants aged 35 or older were assessed for cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, overweight\/obesity, and diabetes mellitus. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, physical activity, and diet were also considered. Coping strategies were evaluated using a self-administered stress management questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including Chi-square, ANOVA tests, and mixed-effect logistic regression, were conducted and stratified by age groups (&lt;60 and \u226560).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study involved 1388 participants.
