| dc.description.abstract | Globally, Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD) represent the number one cause of death among adults; more people die annually from CAD than from any other cause. In Palestine, death from CAD is the leading cause of mortality among adults. This study aims to identify risk factors that may lead to CAD in Gaza Governorates, which in turn may contribute to the preparation of preventive programs to decrease mortality and morbidity from CAD. The design of the study is analytical case-control one, which is a practical and economical design for studying risk factors. The researcher interviewed randomly selected 200 participants (100 cases and 100 controls) from the two Cardiac Catheterization Centers available in Gaza. Subjects of this study were distributed among the five Gaza Governorates, taking into account the sex. The entire selected subjects had positively responded (100% response rate). The study found that there are statistically significant differences between cases and controls (at 0.05% significance level) concluding that, age above 50 years, lack of physical activity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, high Low Density Lipoprotein, low High Density Lipoprotein (the result was taken from the patients files), and smoking are risky factors for developing CAD. Similarly, the presence of family history, number of pregnancies regardless of its success or failure, living in extended families for long periods are also risky for CAD. In contrary, marriage twice, was a preventive factor for CAD. On the other hand, Body Mass Index, level of education and income did not show statistically significant differences between cases and controls. Results highlighted some serious issues that need intensive programs such as public encouragement to exercise and to clarify its benefits through awareness programs at various levels. The development of programs to reduce smoking, and encouraging the use of family planning is essential. Clients with the identified risk factors need more attentions and follow up to reduce the chance of the development of CAD. أ | en |
| dc.description.abstract | مراض الأوعية الدموية للقلب تشكل الرقم الأول بالنسبة للوفيات في العالم، وحسب منظمة الصحة العالمية فان حوالي 17.5 مليون شخص ماتوا في عامهذه الدراسة هي دراسة تحليلية تدرس الحالات المرضية وتقارنها مع عينة(مجموعة) ضابطة. 2005م بسبب هذا المرض مما يشكل حوالي 30% من مجموع الوفيات من باقي الأمراض، أما في فلسطين عام 2005م فان أمراض القلب لا تزال تحتل المركز الأول المسبب في الوفيات بنسبة 36.7% من مجمل الوفيات العام. ورغم قلة الدراسات حول هذا إلا أننا نجد بأن هناك دراسة واحدة فقط في قطاع غزة عام 2000م تطرقت الى دراسة عوامل الخطر وهي ما تحدثت عنها الدراسات في مختلف بلدان العالم مثل الضغط ، السكر، وقلة الرياضة، إلا أننا نعتقد بأن هناك العديد من عوامل الخطر التي تميز محافظات غزة عن باقي الدول المجاورة والأجنبية. | ar |
