The purpose of this study was to identify that the awareness of warning symptoms of cardio-cerebrovascular disease is associated with cardio-cerebrovascular disease prevention attitude and health habit among young adults, and to provide basic data for the development of programs to improve awareness of warning symptoms of cardio-cerebrovascular disease. This study used a cross-sectional study design. The study recruited a total of 190 young adults from two churches and two workplaces. The data was collected from January 13 to March 15, 2023. The data was analyzed using the descriptive statistics, chi-square test, independent t-test and binary (mutiple) logistic regression using SPSS 27.0 version program. The statistically significant factors associated with awareness of myocardial infarction warning symptoms were experience of hypertension education (OR=5.08, p=.041), history of stroke among close relatives (OR=6.43 p=.008) and preventive attitude towards cardio-cerebrovascular disease (OR=1.19, p=.012). The statistically significant factors associated with awareness of stroke warning symptoms were history of stroke among close relatives (OR=9.36, p=.008), preventive attitude towards cardio-cerebrovascular disease (OR=1.18, p=.003) and health habit (OR=1.08, p=.013). The results of this study showed that preventive attitude towards cardio-cerebrovascular disease were significant factors associated with awareness of cardio-cerebrovascular disease and that health habit were significant factors associated with awareness of stroke in young adults. Based on the results of this study, it is expected to develop programs to improve awareness of warning symptoms of cardio-cerebrovacular disease.
