Abstract

Cardio Vascular Diseases (CVDs), the most common cause of death in many industrial countries, have been recently reported as the number one killer among people in Iran. The controllable RISK FACTORS which could be prevented by practicing a healthy lifestyle and were studied in this research are: cigarette smoking, hypertension, high levels of cholesterol, stressful life and physical inactivity. The aim of this study was to assess the risk taking behaviors of STUDENTs EMPLOYEEs and faculties about CVDs. A stratified random sampling method was used for this study to select 650 samples (457 STUDENTs 101 EMPLOYEEs, and 92 FACULTY MEMBERs). A closed - format questionnaire was administered to all the samples. Out of the 650 studied samples, 435 complete questionnaires were utilized for the final statistical analyses. The results showed that the prevalence of CVDs RISK FACTORS in all the forementioned groups were as follow: physical inactivity, Cigarette smoking, Family history of CVDs, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. Comparison among the three studied groups shows that the vast majority of individuals with RISK FACTORS were FACULTY MEMBERs. 8.2% of the cases were considered as "moderate risk" group, while none of the individuals were at high risk of CVDs. In addition, males suffered more than females from CVDs. This study suggests that for CVD RISK FACTORS modification, there must be major changes in the understanding and attitudes of the population. Accordingly, physicians as a role model who should practice the importance of preventing and controlling the RISK FACTORS, can play an important role in educating young STUDENTs regarding healthy lifestyle.
