BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common but chronic condition that can cause death, and is seen as a substantial source of disability and health costs. A balance between prevention and intervention, as is the case with other infectious diseases, is the best way to stem the increasing burden of CVD.
AIM: This study assesses the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, in a sample from the University of Tabuk.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was done in 2018, with 120 employees and students at the University of Tabuk (in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia), for those over age 20 (60 males and 60 females) from different faculties and departments at the university.
RESULTS: Assessment was done with 120 participants to assess the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, at the University of Tabuk, in which the prevalence is actually higher than in most cities of Saudi Arabia. Ten percent of participants are hyperglycemic and 10% are developing problems in that area, with no significant difference between males and females.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that cardiovascular risk factors will influence those with major health disorders in the future. Consequently, a nationwide campaign encouraging wholesome eating, better lifestyles, as well as physical activity, is a healthcare priority.
