ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine frequency of modifiable risk factors about coronary artery disease in an urban female population of Sargodha city of Punjab province of Pakistan
Study Design: Descriptive / cross sectional study
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the urban female population of Sargodha city of Punjab province of Pakistan from March, 1[st] to 30[th] 2016
Materials and Methods: This study was carried out to identify frequency of modifiable risk factors about coronary artery disease in an urban female population of Sargodha city. All 100 married female apparently healthy participants; 25-60 years of age were included
Results: The mean age of subjects was 36.02 +/- 10.02 years. The frequency of smoking [27%] was expressively advanced in study population, sedentary lifestyle [19%] obesity [25%], use of salt [16%] and use of fat [13%] respectively
Conclusion: The current research concludes a reduced information related to modifiable threat aspects regarding coronary artery disease in the urban feminine populace. Consequently, there is a speedy prerequisite to initiate actions to educate peoples of this group in relation of changeable risk features so that those at high risk for upcoming patients of controllable coronary artery disease can be coped
ABSTRACT
Objective: To ascertain knowledge of modifiable risk factors about coronary artery disease in an urban male population of Sargodha city; Pakistan
Study Design: Observational / cross sectional study
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried in urban male population of Sargodha city, Pakistan from November, 1[st] to 30[th] 2015
Materials and Methods: This study was carried out to recognize knowledge of modifiable risk factors about coronary artery disease in an urban male population of Sargodha city. All 100 married male apparently healthy participants; 25-60 years of age were included
Results: The mean age of subjects was 40.12 +/- 10.22 years. The frequency of smoking [28%] was significantly higher in study population, sedentary lifestyle [5%] obesity [22%], use of salt [17%] and use of fat [8%] respectively
Conclusion: The present study determines a poor knowledge of modifiable risk factors regarding Coronary artery disease in the urban male population. Therefore, there is an immediate need to initiate measures to raise awareness of these modifiable risk factors so that individuals at high risk for future Coronary artery disease can be managed
