ABSTRACT:
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the commonest disease-causing morbidity and mortality around worldwide. Individuals' health attitudes, habits, and lifestyle patterns are influenced by their knowledge of the disease and risk factors. Public awareness about the minimization of modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors is required to improve cardiovascular health. This study assessed knowledge and attitude of cardiovascular risks among young adults in BuleHora, Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based descriptive study was conducted from January 15 to February 15, 2021, among young adults in BuleHora town. A validated self-administered questionnaire was used to gather data. Based on the single population proportion formula the obtained sample size was 216. The data will be coded, checked and cleaned data (edited) will be entered into SPSS statistics version 25 for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used. Result: The overall knowledge and attitude among younger adults about cardio-vascular risk were, all among 63% had average knowledge, and 36 % had good knowledge. About 52% had a neutral attitude and only 23% had a favorable attitude. There was a moderate positive correlation (r=0.7) between knowledge and attitude about cardio-vascular risks, the mean knowledge value is 15.3(SD=5.02) and the mean attitude value is 27.25(SD=10.25). No significant association was found between knowledge and attitude with their selected socio-demographic variables of younger adults. Conclusion: Younger adults were in very less knowledge and attitude about cardiovascular risks in the selected setting. Educational intervention on the cardiovascular risks and their harmful effects is necessary.
