Background: With the turn of the century, CVDs have become the leading cause of mortality in India. Despite the wide heterogeneous prevalence of risk factors across different regions, CVD is the major cause of death in all parts of India. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the prevalence of CVDs and its associated risk factors among older adults in India. Methods: The current study used data from the LASI, Wave 1, the world's largest and India's first longitudinal aging study. The total sample for the analysis was 65562 (45 and above individuals). The self-reported prevalence of CVDs was calculated by considering any one of the self-reported diagnosed conditions of hypertension, stroke, and chronic heart diseases. Binary Logistic regression was carried out between CVD and its associated risk factors like age, sex, place of residence, physical activity, family history of CVD, Diabetes/blood sugar, high cholesterol.
