摘要：
Background: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is considered as the main cause of death worldwide. Identifying the links among CVDs risk factors can help decrease CVD-related deaths. Aim: To assess the prevalence of risk factors for CVD and their relationships among the Tabuk City population in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used; 432 participants in the Tabuk region were included in this study. Results: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) was 5.6%, the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) was 11.1% and obesity and overweight together were 69.9%. Mean Body Mass Index (BMI), HTN, and DM increased with age. There was a correlation between BMI with HTN (r=.200, p<.001), BMI and DM (r=.149, p<.001) and DM and HTN (r=.366, p<.001). Conclusion: Public awareness may help in reducing the prevalence of CVD.
