In addition, the population study's PRACTICE regarding controlling the RISK FACTORS of CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES was determined, as well. Moreover, specific questionnaire and direct interview were used for collecting data and then the gathering data was analyzed by SPSS and EPI – Info soft wares. Results: In this study, 71.8% of people were women while 28.2% of them were men.
