“…With regard to obesity, about 21% of the NBP population are obese, and this prevalence increased to 55% among adolescents in Arar. 23,31 It is a significantly high percentage of DM among the general population of NBP, especially adolescents whose prevalence rate exceeded the national rate (24%). 31 This indicates that those people are at high risk of other associated health issues and chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.…”

“…47 Other chronic diseases that have been studied among adolescents in NBP were eating disorders (25.5%), which was within the national range 48 and acne vulgaris (14.3%) among females, depression (56.3%), and anxiety (56%) among males. 23,26,27 For older people in Arar, it was estimated that peptic ulcer and renal insufficiency were prevalent in 21.2% and 6.5%, respectively. 29,35 Two studies on the prevalence of inflammatory diseases (arthritis and knee-osteoarthritis) have been identified.…”

“…Most of the selected studies had a cross-sectional study design (n=20), and only one study conducted by Alenezi et al had a retrospective design. 41 Among these selected studies, 2 studies were national surveys, 31,34 and 19 studies were regional studies conducted in some cities of NBP; 16 were from Arar, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]33,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41] 2 studies were from Turaif, 22,32 and only 1 study from Rafha. 21 Most of these studies (about 90%) rely on self-report chronic diseases gathered by interviews or questionnaires.…”

Estimation of the prevalence of chronic conditions is pivotal to effective healthcare planning and management. Therefore, our objective was to systemically review previous literature about the prevalence of chronic diseases among residents of Northern Borders Province (NBP) in Saudi Arabia. The electronic search has been done using scientific databases (PubMed, Ebsco, SciFinder, and Web of Science) and search engines up to September 2021. The following main key terms: chronic disease OR chronic conditions AND prevalence AND Northern Borders Province OR Northern Borders AND Saudi Arabia were applied. Other related terms with a more specific search were done with names of the main cities in the province and the most common diseases in Saudi Arabia. Duplicates were removed electronically by Endnote and manually. Extracted data were tabulated in the literature matrix. The risk of bias and quality of included studies were assessed using the "Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology" (STROBE) checklist. Out of 63 observational studies that were assessed for eligibility, 21 observational studies were included to synthesize the evidence. These studies were conducted on Arar (n=16), Turaif (n=2), and Rafha (n=1), while the remaining were national studies in which NBP was one of the included regions (n=2). The most frequently studied diseases were diabetes (4 records), psychological diseases (4 records), and obesity (3 records). The most prevalent disease was gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with an estimated prevalence of 61% among adults in Arar city. In conclusion, although some research is conducted about chronic diseases somewhere in NBP, further studies are needed to study chronic diseases using a representative sample of the whole NBP population.

“…Secondly, we collected all the articles published until December 2020 that reported risk factors for diabetes like gender, age, smoking, family history of diabetes, physical inactivity, BMI, hypertension, metabolic syndrome in normal volunteers from thirteen region of Saudi Arabia. Thirteen regions were clustered into five regions: Central region -Riyadh [13,14], Eastern region -Dammam and related cities [15], Northern region-Qassim [16], Tabuk [17], Hail [18], Arar [19], Aljouf [20], Southern region -Jazan [3], Albaha and Western region -Makkah [21], Jeddah [22], Madinah [23]. Studies that only considering physical inactivity and smoking risk factors, and risk factors in diabetic patients, were excluded.…”

Aims: The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of diabetes mellitus among adult population of Albaha region, Saudi Arabia and to identify the diabetic risk clusters among Saudi population using various cluster analysis techniques. Study Design: Cross-sectional observation and Hierarchal cluster analyses. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in three different cities of the Albaha region, Saudi Arabia including Albaha, AlAqiq and Baljurashi among Saudi adults 15 years of age or above. The study was carried out from April 2019 to May 2019. Methodology: The first part of the research was a random cross-sectional observational diabetic risk factors screening using a structured questionnaire among adult volunteers of the Albaha region. The second part constituted a multiple cluster analysis technique performed to identify the diabetic risk factors from 13 regions of Saudi Arabia, clustered into five main regions, using NCSS software. Results: In the first part, the risk factors identified among non-diabetic participants showed a significant association with the development of diabetes mellitus, particularly physical inactivity (49.12%), hypertension (41.15%), and high body mass index (19.03%). Likewise, in 11.54% of diabetic patients, elevated body mass index (30.51%), hypertension (27.12%) and physical inactivity (55.93%), which could be associated with diabetic complications. In the second part, the three forms of cluster analyses (the agglomerate hierarchical cluster, clustered heat map and K means clustering analysis) identified physical inactivity and high body mass index as key risk factors which are connected to all other risk factors among the total of 213591 volunteers. Conclusion: Increased prevalence of diabetes and risk of developing diabetes mellitus in the Kingdom require substantial education and training programs to counsel volunteers on all aspects of self-care. Our data provides a robust evidence to establish diabetic counseling through regular diabetes awareness program that can reduce the risk of developing diabetes mellitus.
