DVT Awareness Survey Findings for Respondents in High-Risk Groups:,Obese Individuals

(20% for each).

Although most obese individuals can name some risk factors for DVT, very few recognize obesity as a risk factor.

    * Top of mind, 68% of obese individuals are able to identify at least one

      risk factor for DVT.

    * Less than one in 10 (9%) name weight factors/obesity as a common risk

      factor for DVT.

Obese individuals know somewhat less about DVT than the general population and are slightly less likely to seek information about it.

    * 42% of obese individuals have some knowledge about DVT, vs. 51% of the

      general population.

    * 10% have actively sought information about DVT, compared with 15% of the

      general population.
