| description | Introduction:‎‏ ‏Cardiovascular diseases are causes of death in many industrialized countries. ‎This disease is among the most common, serious and deadly diseases in Iran.‎
Objective:‎‏ ‏This study was performed to determine some of the behavioral risk factors ‎associated with cardiovascular diseases in Bonab city staffs.
‎ Methods:‎‏ ‏This study was a cross-sectional study. Research population consisted of all city ‎employees. Cluster sampling method was used and the inclusion criteria were performed. Data ‎of total of ‎‏241‏eligible employees selected were collected by questionnaire which validity and ‎reliability of it was confirmed through content validity and Alpha Cronbach. The data were ‎analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-square, t with independent samples)‎‏ ‏in ‎SPSS software.‎
Results:‎‏ ‏The results showed that ‎‏65.2%‏‎ of samples weren t compliant with specific nutritional ‎principles and the type of oil of consumption was saturated in ‎‏70%‏‎ of samples, ‎‏47.1%‏‎ and ‎‏11%‏‎ ‎of the samples respectively were overweight and obese, ‎‏19.5%‏‎ smokers, ‎‏6.2%‏‎ regularly use ‎bubble and ‎‏49.5%‏‎ had contact with environmental tobacco smoke. ‎‏43.8%‏‎ were not screened for ‎diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and ‎‏54‏‎.‎‏8%‏‎ of them didn t exercise. Chi-square test showed ‎significant difference between the sexes in the variables of smoking (P=‎‏0.006‏‎), athletic ‎activities (P=‎‏0.001‏‎) and adherence to principles of specific nutrition (P=‎‏0.006‏‎).
Conclusion: In attention to study findings on possible decreasing risk factors and low ‎sensitivity of samples regarding healthy life styles and screening for diabetes and ‎hyperlipidemia, programmed education is necessary to lower risk factors,‎‏ ‏Change knowledge ‎and attitude of people on self health and ultimately correcting life styles.‎ |
