Introduction.
CVDs are largely driven by modifiable risk factors.
This study sought to determine the awareness and prevalence of the modifiable CVDs risk factors among the Lebanese population.
Methods.
In a cross-sectional survey, 1000 participants aged ≥ 45 years were randomly selected from pharmacies and interviewed.
The data was analyzed with SPSS version 21.0 software.
Results.
Differences between urban and rural areas include alcohol consumption (2.8% versus 1.7%; p=0.0001), cardioprotective vegetable servings (6.1% versus 2.3%; p=0.016), sedentary hours per day (18.6% versus 15.1%; p=0.002), and hypertension (38.5% versus 25.4%; p=0.001).
The prevalence of overweight and obesity (77.3% versus 75.2%; p=0.468), smoking (39.3% versus 43.3%; p=0.232), diabetes (25.4% versus 21.4%; p=0.173), and dyslipidemia (25 versus 21.2%) was reported.
Measurements revealed 19.3% of undiagnosed hypertension (12.4% versus 22.4%, p=0.001), 61.7% of hypertension (59.8% versus 62.6%; p=0.203), and 7.9% of undiagnosed diabetes (6.6% versus 8.6%; p=0.323).
The declared awareness of CVDs risk factors was highest for smoking (91.5% versus 89.7%; p=0.339) and lowest for diabetes (54.4 versus 55.7%; p=0.692).
Conclusion.
This study has shown a high prevalence of modifiable CVDs risk factors in the Lebanese population ≥ 45 years, among which hypertension is the most prominent.
