Background
Chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease
have become increasingly prevalent due to factors like population aging and urbanization. These diseases
impose significant social, health, and economic burdens globally. Despite this, knowledge about public
awareness of such diseases and their associated risks remains insufficient.
Methodology:
A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 442 adults aged between 18 and 64 years, selected
using multistage random sampling. The survey utilized a pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire to
assess participants' knowledge about chronic diseases, lifestyle practices, and risk perception. Data were
analysed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests, with p < 0.05 considered statistically
significant.
