Cross-sectional survey reveals moderate cardiovascular health awareness in Palestine, indicating a need for public health intervention.
This study highlights moderate awareness of cardiovascular health among adults in the West Bank but identifies significant knowledge gaps regarding key risk factors such as hypertension, smoking, and inactivity. The prevalence of these modifiable risk factors underscores the need for targeted public health intervention. Promoting education and healthier lifestyle choices could reduce cardiovascular disease risks in the West Bank, warranting further research to assess the effectiveness of these efforts and explore sociocultural barriers to improved awareness.
