“…Previous studies conducted in Saudi Arabia supported the findings that there is limited knowledge about the CVDs risk factors among the Saudis in Jeddah (Almalki et al, 2019), Qassim (Albadrani et al, 2020), Riyadh (Mujamammi et al, 2020), and Western region (Alghamdi et al, 2021). This is higher than what was obtained in India (60.26 ± 17.20) (Yeluri et al, 2021), and lower than a study conducted in Indonesia (Suarningsih & Suindrayasa, 2020). In comparison with another study conducted among university teachers in Saudi Arabia, the mean knowledge scores were higher ranges from 72.97% to 74.31% (Tomar et al, 2015).…”

Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality and disability worldwide. This study aimed to assess knowledge of cardiovascular disease and risk factors among the adult population in the south region of Saudi Arabia. A web-based cross-sectional survey of 1,049 participants was completed during August 2021. Data were collected by using 25-item heart disease fact questionnaire. The study population included 526 men (50.1%) and 523 women (49.9%) with a mean age of 36 ± 12 years. The average total knowledge score was 65.7 ± 20.80. The items with the highest knowledge were smoking, overweight, aging, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, and family history. Findings revealed that knowledge regarding cardiovascular diseases is inadequate with a high prevalence of risk factors among the Saudi Arabian population. Healthcare professionals and organizations have a crucial role in raising public awareness regarding health promotion, regular screening, and lifestyles modifications. Interventional studies are needed to investigate the actual magnitude of CVDs and counteract them.

“…Knowledge of modifiable CVDs risk factors and its prevention practices were dichotomized into good or poor knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors or prevention practices of cardiovascular disease. Good knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors or primary prevention practices of cardiovascular diseases were computed from the mean score and those participants who had knowledge of CVDs risk factors or its prevention practices above mean PLOS GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH score were considered to have good knowledge or good CVDs prevention practice [16,22,26]. Data were collected by 5 BSc nurses through face-to-face interview techniques.…”

“…Different studies were conducted regarding knowledge and prevention practice of modifiable cardiovascular disease worldwide, even though the global pandemic of modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors were as usual especially in low-income countries [5,6,[15][16][17][18][19]. However, to date, no information was found in Ethiopia regarding knowledge and prevention practice of modifiable cardiovascular disease.…”

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of mortality and morbidity globally. This is due to the increasing prevalence of modifiable CVDs risk factors. Hence, the study was aimed to identify knowledge and unhealthy behaviors that contribute to CVD among diabetes mellitus patients. An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was employed among diabetes mellitus patients. A close-ended questionnaire developed from up-to-date similar literature was pretested and face-to-face interview techniques were used to collect data. Checked data were entered into the Epidata 4.1 versions. Then, descriptive and bivariate logistic regression was done using SPSS 25 versions. Of the study participants included in the study, 318, more than half of them, 167(52.5%), were aged ≥45 years and 187(58.8%) of them were females. Among the study participants, more than half, 198(62.3%), had good Knowledge of modifiable CVDs risk factors. Most of the study participants identified consuming foods rich in fats instead of vegetables and fruits 198(62.3%), followed by physical inactivity 196(61.6%) as a risk factor for CVD. Regarding CVDs prevention practice, 175(55.0%) of the patients had a good practice. More than three-fourths, 267(84.0%), practice avoiding foods rich in fats and, sugar, and cigarette smoking 250(78.6%). Predictors like educational status, college and above (AOR 2.68; 95% CI 1.14–6.27), and urban residence area (AOR 1.94; 95% CI 1.09–3.15) were associated with knowledge of CVDs risk factors. While sex, marital status monthly income, and age of the participants had no association with knowledge and prevention practice of modifiable CVDs risk factors. The study participants’ knowledge and prevention practice of modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors was satisfactory, even though continuous awareness creation is required to lower CVD mortality and morbidity burdens. Educational status and residence are of the study participants affect the knowledge and prevention practice modifiable of cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the primary cause of mortality worldwide. Numerous factors can indicate the likelihood of developing CVDs. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of these risk factors is the initial step towards implementing successful preventive measures to defy the prevalence of CVDs across all demographics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Moroccan population's level of knowledge regarding cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF).Methods: This questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 744 participants. Their knowledge of CVD risk factors was assessed by the Heart Disease Facts Questionnaire (HDFQ). Sociodemographic characteristics were collected and statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp., Version 26.0, Armonk, NY).Results: Among 744 participants, 475 (63%) were male and 409 (55%) were young adults. The mean HDFQ score was 64.36%. Overall, 47.4% of the respondents were aware of CVD risk factors, 27% had moderate knowledge and 25.6% had poor knowledge. The most commonly identified factors were smoking (86.8%), obesity (85.6%), and aging (80.5%). Age was the only factor that showed a significant association with the awareness of CVD risk factors. Conclusion:The level of knowledge of CVRF is moderate among the Moroccan population. Effective health education about CVRF and adequate prevention measures is certainly essential to minimize the burden of CVD.
