    Background: To investigate the prevalence rate of high-risk subjects of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to analyze the influencing factors in different regions of Gansu Province.We used data from the China Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE) Million Persons Project (MPP), which screened 100,725 residents aged 35 to 75 years from 10 project sites in Gansu Province, China, from 2017 to 2022, and a questionnaire survey, anthropometric measurements, and collection of biological samples were carried out.Results: Of the 100,082 residents included, 21,059 were identified as high-risk subjects of CVD.The overall prevalence rate of high-risk subjects of CVD was 19.7%, and the prevalence rate in the HeXi region was greater than that in the LongZhong and LongDong regions. The prevalence rates were 14.0%, 58.2%, 34.9% and 5.7% for cardiovascular history, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and WHO assessed risk ≥20%, respectively. The prevalence rate of cardiovascular history type was the highest in the HeXi region, hypertension and dyslipidemia types were the highest in the LongZhong region, and WHO assessed risk ≥20% type was the highest in the LongDong region. Male, higher education level, smoking status, snoring status, overweight and obesity status, central obesity status and disease history were more likely to be risk factors for high-risk subjects of CVD. There were some differences among different regions in age, annual household income, farming status, rural/urban status and drinking status.The prevalence rate of high-risk subjects of CVD in Gansu Province is relatively high.Individualized intervention measures as well as comprehensive prevention and control strategies should be adopted, focusing on the distribution characteristics of risk factors among high-risk subjects in different regions.
