● Cardiovascular diseases are a significant public health issue that results in disability, mortality, and economic burden in most countries.
● Almost half of cardiovascular diseases are caused by coronary artery diseases.
● Modifiable risk factors of heart disease such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and overweight have a high prevalence in the community.
● According to the World Health Organization, the greatest achievement of advanced societies in preventing many diseases, like coronary artery diseases is due to the awareness of people and control of risk factors.
Plain Language Summary
Health sciences that previously focused on the treatment of the diseases have now shifted to the prevention of diseases and promotion of health through lifestyle improvements. Health-promoting lifestyle will result in maintaining the function and independence of individuals, improving their quality of life, and reducing health care costs. This study aimed to examine the relationship between people’s awareness of risk factors of coronary heart diseases and health-promoting lifestyle. The study findings showed that the spiritual growth had the highest and exercise and physical activity the lowest mean scores of health-promoting lifestyle dimensions. The importance of physical activity in the prevention of coronary artery disease should be emphasized in these courses.
