Abstract

Objectives: Saudi Arabia has the fourth highest incidence of diabetes mellitus in the world. It is important to ensure that the community has sufficient knowledge of this disease to enable further promotion of health interventions to control its prevalence. This study aims to analyze the knowledge of participants about cardiovascular risk factors, obesity and thyroid disorders in Diabetes patients. Methods: A survey was conducted. The data was collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study found that most participants recognized a significant relation between cardiovascular disease risk and diabetes, with statistically significant associations noted for factors such as age, city, education level, occupation and the presence of chronic diseases (p value <0.05). However, demographics like gender, nationality and marital status did not show significant relationships. Additionally, 61.8% acknowledged the link between thyroid dysfunction and obesity and a large majority (84.9%) were unaware of the relationship between thyroid disorders and diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: This study highlights a critical gap in knowledge regarding the interrelationships between cardiovascular risk factors, obesity and thyroid disorders among diabetes mellitus patients in Arar, Saudi Arabia. While participants demonstrated some awareness of the link between diabetes and cardiovascular diseases
