“…In our study, 80.4% of the population have family history of CVDs, which is considered significantly high in comparison with Shaqra city In our research, 34.7% of our participants sometimes consuming fruits and vegetables but 28% consume it rarely. The prevalence of insufficient consuming fruits and vegetables was 62.7% which is a high percentage but still lower than other studies in Nepal (98%) and Egypt (98.4) [17,18] This can also be explained as result of insufficient knowledge on the benefits of fruit and vegetables intake [17]. In our research, 34.7% of our participants were sometimes consuming fruits and vegetables but 28% consume it rarely.…”

Our results showed that about 10.3% of our participants are The prevalence of smoking in our study was low in comparison with the prevalence in Gulf countries (13.4% to 37.4%) in males and (0.5% to 20.7%) in females [18], total male and females in Nepal 17.6% [17], in Germany 23.3% [16] and in Bangladesh 40.6% [21]. In our research32.4% were consuming fast food more than one time per week and these results were similar to that reported in the UAE [22].…”

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally, and representing 31% of all global deaths according to WHO. So, this study may be useful to detect the risk factors of CVDs and how to prevent them to help in reducing the rate of deaths due to these diseases. Aim: To estimate the prevalence of CVD risk factors in Hail region, Saudi Arabia (KSA). Methods: The study was carried out through an observational cross-sectional study on 300 participants from Hail region including both genders (females 231 [77%] & males 69 [23%]) with age group range from 18 years-old and above. The study was conducted using an electronic questionnaire, and the data was analyzed using Software Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 23. Results: The highest risk factor for CVDs was obesity, the total number of overweight, obese and extremely obese was 171 (57%) which was more pronounced with peoples at the age of 31-45 years old. Other risk factors that were found in our participants were hypertension (8.3%), diabetes mellitus(DM, 7.3%),family history of diseases (80.4%), consuming insufficient amounts of fruits and vegetables (62.7%), always drinking coffee (60.9%), physical inactivity (34.7%), consuming fast foods more than one time per week (32.4%) and smoking 10.3%.We can conclude that many risk factors for CVDs were prevalent among Hail population either non modifiable (family history of diseases) or modifiable (obesity, physical inactivity, fast foods, insufficient amounts of fruits and vegetables) showed a considerable percentage which needs awareness programs for Hail population.

Background and Aim: In limited resource settings, reliable epidemiological data generated from hypertension high risk geographical areas or people is a prerequisite for the planning of proven and effective interventions. The aim of the present survey was to assess the prevalence, awareness, control and factors associated with hypertension in adults living in the port City of Boma, located in the southwestern part of DRC. Methods: a cross-sectional survey using a modified WHO STEP wise questionnaire for data collection during face-to face interviews was conducted from March, 1 to April 15, 2018. We did multi-stage cluster sampling. Was an all-inclusive adult over the age of≥18 years having given informed consent. Information on demographic parameters, lifestyles, anthropometric measurements and blood pressure (BP) were obtained. Hypertension was defined as a mean of two BP≥140/90 mmHg or a self-reported history of antihypertensive drug use. Independent factors associated with hypertension were identified using logistic pressure analysis. P<0.05 defined level of statistical significance. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was 35% (Women 63, 5%) with 56,1% of hypertensive participants being unaware of their hypertension status. Of those who were aware and on treatment, only 47, 9% had a controlled BP. Older age (p<0.001), FH-HT (p=0.021), smoking (p<0.001), overweight (p<0.001), and obesity (p=0.030) emerged as main cardiovascular risk factors associated with hypertension. Conclusion: Hypertension was characterized by a high prevalence, low rate of awareness and suboptimal BP control, high cardiovascular risk and associated with smoking and obesity as modifiable risk factors. Therapeutic lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatment are needed for those hypertensive participants with increased global cardiovascular risk.

The aim of the present survey was to assess the prevalence, awareness, control and factors associated with hypertension in adults living in the port City of Bandundu, located in the southwestern part of DRC.Methods: a cross-sectional survey using a modified WHO STEPwise questionnaire for data collection during face-to face interviews was conducted from 1st May to 30th October 2018. A multistage cluster sampling method was used and inclusion criteria were age ≥18 years and informed consent. Information on demographic parameters, behavioral lifestyles, anthropometric and blood pressure (BP) measurements was obtained. Hypertension was defined as an average of two BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg or self-reported history of antihypertensive medication use. Independent factors associated with hypertension were identified using logistic regression analysis. P<0.05 defined the level of statistical significance. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was 34,5% (Women 36,6 %). Older age (p<0.001), subclinical atherosclerosis (p= 0.021), sleep duration <8 hours (p<0.002), diabetes mellitus (p<0.001), and obesity (p= 0.009) emerged as main cardiovascular risk factors associated with hypertension.Conclusion: Hypertension was characterized by a high prevalence, low rate of awareness and suboptimal BP control, high cardiovascular risk and associated sleep duration and obesity as modifiable risk factors.
