Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading causes of death in all developed countries. CVD is predicted to become the major cause of morbidity and mortality by 2020. 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.
