The main objectives were to know the magnitude of risk factors of cardio vascular diseases (CVDs) among auto-rickshaw drivers. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted involving 330 auto-rickshaw drivers at Kannur city of Kerala using a pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire & anthropometric measurements. Results: All the study population were males. The cardiovascular risk factors were current smokers 35.45%, current alcohol consumption 43.6%, overweight & obesity 40.6% central obesity 32.1% & hypertension 21.8%. Conclusions: High proportion of risk factors was observed in auto-rickshaw drivers which put them for increased risk of CVDs. Early precautionary measures, regular medical check-up & prompt interventions are necessary for managing risk factors.
