majority of the sample are married and they accounted for 84 (84%) of the
whole sample. Relative to subject of occupation status, results indicated that
a highest percentage of the study sample are Government employee, they
are accounted for 84(84.0%).The majority of monthly income of the studied
individuals are barely sufficient and insufficient and they are accounted
61(61.0%), and most of them had urban residency and they are accounted of
29(29.0%).Finally, crowding index according to the rated of households and
number of rooms, shows that most of the study sample had been reported
good assessment, since no one of the studied individuals was achieved to the
bad level of crowding index ( i.e. 5 and more ).

CVD Patients were Obese (30-34.9 Kg/m2),and (12.0 %) Obese II (equal
and more than 35 Kg/m2). In measuring the blood pressure for the CVD
patients the data shows that (45.0%) their systolic blood pressure were (equal
& less than 140 mm/ Hg ) & diastolic blood pressure less than 90, while
(55.0%) their systolic blood pressure was (more than 140 mm/Hg ) &
diastolic blood pressure equal & less than 90 mm/Hg. Regarding to blood
sugar 28%of study population their blood sugar more than 126mg/dl ,while
72% of study sample were less than 126mg/dl .
