Abstract Obesity Risk Factors among patients with heart disease in several ways, including increased levels of cholesterol in the blood, obesity increases levels of harmful cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) and triglycerides in the blood, in addition to reducing levels of beneficial cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein), which play a beneficial role in ridding the body of harmful cholesterol, which leads to Exposing the patient to heart disease. increased blood pressure, obese patients need to supply oxygen and food to the body’s organs in larger quantities, and this leads to the body’s response to raising arterial pressure to achieve this, and high blood pressure is considered one of the main risk factors for heart disease. Metabolic disorders, the enlargement of adipose tissue cells leads to physiological changes in the body that stimulate the occurrence of metabolic disorders, which are a risk factor for heart disease (American Heart Association, 2019). Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to assess obesity risk factors among patients with heart disease through. 1- Assessing health status of patients with heart disease based on medical records. 2- Assessing level of knowledge of patient with heart disease regarding obesity and it is risk factors. 3- Assessing life style practices (eating behavior, dietary intake, physical activity, attitude toward diet and health, reducing energy intake, sleeping, Smoking, resting, exercises, medication and follow-up) as reported among patient with heart disease related to obesity risk factors. Research questions: 1- Is there a relation between sociodemographic characteristics of patient with heart disease and their life style related to obesity risk factors? 2- Is there a relation between occurrence of obesity and its effect on patient’s with heart diseases? 3- Is there a relation between patient with heart disease level of knowledge and their life style practices related to obesity risk factors? Research design: A descriptive analytical research design will be used in this study Research setting: The study will be carried out at the outpatient clinics of heart diseases in air force Specialized hospital in South 90th Street, Cairo most updated equipment and advices in diagnosis and treatment. Subjects of Study: Purposive sample was be conducted in the study. Size: the sample contains all available patient’s with heart disease and suffering from obesity within six months, it constitute 50%from total attendances through year They number (498) patient with heart disease which was recorded by cardiology clinic at the air Force specialized hospital in south 90th street, new Cairo governorate. Tools of Data Collection: Data were collected using the following tools: First tool: interviewing, questionnaire will be written in the simple Arabic language and will be developed by the investigator based on body mass index on literature review. • Part 1: Assess of patients with heart disease about Socio demographic characteristics as Age, gender, Educational level, Occupation, Marital status, monthly income, residence (Egyptian Heart Association, 2019). • Part 2: Assess patient’s level of knowledge about obesity as definition, causes, facts, signs, Symptoms, complication and Treatment (WHO, 2019). • Part 3: Assess life style practices of patient with heart diseases as eating behavior, dietary intake, physical activity, sleeping pattern, Smoking, resting and exercises (WHO, 2019). • Part 4: Assess of the class and stage of obesity for the heart patient through body mass index, Waist circumference (WHO, 2019). Second tool Assess health status of patient with heart disease through medical recorded will be include (Laboratory examination, Radiological tests, Family history, compliance of treatment and compliance of follow-up) The results of the present study showed that: ▪ Table (1) reveals personal characteristics of the studied patients, it shows that more than half (61.6%) of the studied patients were aged 60 years and more with Mean ± SD48.95±9.36 and more than two third (67.1%) of the studied patients were female, while less than half (45.8%) of them had secondary education, less than half (49.8%) of them were government employee.

The result of the current study concluded that: from the results of the current study, it was concluded that obesity has risk factors for heart patients, and that there is a strong relationship between demographic characteristics and lifestyle practices among heart patients, the study that The stage of obesity affects the heart, the higher the stage of obesity, the greater the risk to the heart. the study that Knowledge and levels of lifestyle practices lead to improving the health status of heart patients, especially those who suffer from obesity, as changing the lifestyle leads to the prevention of many diseases such as heart disease and obesity. Obesity contributes to the occurrence of many complications for heart patients and affects their health status, as found according to the researcher’s evaluation The present study suggested the following recommendations: 1- Improve the patient’s heart disease level of knowledge of obesity in terms of definition, causes, facts, signs, symptoms, complications and treatment. 2- Help to improve the lifestyle practices of the patient with heart disease, such as eating behavior, diet, physical activity, sleep patterns, smoking, rest and exercise. 3-provide Patients’ knowledge the category and stage of obesity for a heart patient through body mass index and waist circumference. 4- Provide educational programs for heart patients who suffer from obesity to reduce weight, quit smoking, healthy habits and healthy foods. 5-Encouraging heart patients who suffer from obesity to reduce the proportion of saturated fat in their meals and to eat five different types of fruits and vegetables daily 6-Encourage heart patients to reduce saturated fat in their meals ,eat five different types of fruits and vegetables daily high-value foods and Reduce consumption of salt, sugar and soft drinks. 7-Encourage heart patients who suffer from obesity to exercise and walk to reduce obesity. |
