dc.description.abstractThe aims of our study were to evaluate the prevalence and knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors in workplace and the global risk among workers. Data collected during these examinations included BMI and blood pressure as well as habits like smoking and physical exercise. The body mass index (BMI) of each worker was calculated and classified into four groups: underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (BMI = 18.5-23.5 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 23.5-26 kg/m2), and obese (BMI > 26 kg/m2). The clinic performed the blood sample test to examine the blood glucose (fasting or random) and the total cholesterol level. Participants with hypertension were 279 (45.07%) whereas 340(54.92%) with no any hypertension. Workers with less than a 10th-grade education were more likely to be in the high-risk category, although this difference was not statistically significant. Fasting blood glucose levels were generally normal in 396 (63.97%) participants. Participants 411 (66.39%) moderate in Physical Activity. Triglyceride was generally Normal in 389 (62.22%). The majority of tobacco and alcohol users were 379 (61.22%) and 286 (46.20%), respectively. in this assessment, 596 know Alcohol consumption raises CVD risk, 503 answers NO to Exercise regularly increases CVD risk, 367 pointed Table salt use increases CVD risk, 569 are aware that obesity increases CVD risk, 602 are aware that smoking increases CVD risk, 538 are aware that hypertension increases CVD risk, and 493 Opted NO to vegetable/fruit eating increases CVD risk.en_US
