Abstract :

A descriptive study was conducted to assess the prevalence of risk factors for coronary artery diseases among adults. The objectives of the study were to estimate the prevalence of risk factors for coronary artery disease among adults, to determine the association between level of risk for coronary artery disease and selected socio personal variables. The study was conducted among 700 samples and the major risk factors identified were, cardiovascular history (17%) , sedentary Life style practices (59.4%), Stress(76%) ,Sleep pattern (7.3%), Bowel toxicity (4%), Elevated blood sugar (24.1%),Inflammation and pain (49.7%) ,Dietary pattern (1.1%), elevated systolic blood pressure 34.7%, Elevated lipids (1.4%) and waist circumference (51%). Overall, the prevalence of risk factors shows 6.4% had low risk for coronary artery disease, 52.4%, 31.4%, 9.8% of subjects had medium risk, high risk and very high risk respectively. There was a significant association between age, gender, marital status, type of family and socio economic status with risk for coronary artery disease where the (p<0.001).
