Abstract
Back ground: Cardiovascular disease has become the major killer and leading cause of death in world- wide due to vast changes in the lifestyle of people. Objectives: To assess the modifiable risk factors of (CVD) among adults at selected community. Methodology: 75 Subjects of aged 20 to 60 years were selected. Structured interview schedules were used for data collection. Results: Study finding revealed that 100%. of all samples had at least one risk of modifiable risk factor. In the assessment of bio-physiological factors the data revealed that 4(5.3%) had no risk, 44(58.7%) had mild risk, 23(30.7%) had moderate risk and 4(5.3%) had high risk. In life style factor assessment,72 (96%) had mild risk and 3(4%)had moderate risk. Assessment of physical activity revealed, 2(2.6%) had mild risk, 29(38.7%) had moderate risk and 44(58.7%) had high risk. In the assessment of dietary pattern, 5(6.6%) had mild risk, 62(82.7%) had moderate risk and 8(10.7%) had high risk. Discussion: All the subjects had one or more risk factors: The results revealed that there was statistically significant association was found with selected demographical variables like education and income. Hence as life style changes (unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and habits) are 96 % found to be main modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Conclusions: The study suggests that if the risk subjects for CVD may modify their life style and diet habits they can survive long time.
