## Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading global cause of death, contributing to health deterioration and increased healthcare
expenses. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the disability rates related to cardiovascular diseases at Osh city, Kyrgyz
Republic. We report the prevalence of disability in both urban and rural areas, highlighting the impact of regional disparities in
medical and social services. Data shows that adult cardiovascular disease impairment in Kyrgyzstan suggests challenges in accessing
medical and social support, particularly in rural regions. Thus, the rural-urban divide in critical disability metrics impedes equitable
research. Comprehensive assessments and interventions are imperative to mitigate cardiovascular diseases and associated disabilities in
both rural and urban populations at Kyrgyz Republic.
