| description |
Today, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are
one of the main causes of death around the
world, including countries under the banner
of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC). The surge in the prevalence of CVDs
is predominantly contributed by demographic
changes and adoption of sedentary lifestyles
together with deficient in physical activity.
The objective of this paper is to examine the
patterns of CVDs in OIC countries and how
this has significantly affected the healthcare
system. Relevant data from 56 OIC countries
were obtained from the report by World Health
Organization (WHO) in 2016. Descriptive
content analysis was conducted to see variations
in CVDs across income groups, genders and
health conditions. The analysis suggests
that CVDs are the main cause of mortality,
particularly in high income and upper-middle
income countries. Tobacco smoking, alcohol
intake, high blood pressure and obesity are
the common risk factors which contribute to
CVDs. Men are known to have high risk factors
compared to women. Indeed, the burden of
NCDs has impacted not only on the quality of
life of affected individuals and their families, but
also on the country’s socio-economic system. |
