Abstract
Background: Non-communicable diseases are preventable diseases that are currently the leading causes of death in Egypt. Non-communicable diseases and their related risk factors represent a significant burden on the individuals and the health system in Egypt.
Aims of study: To early detect chronic kidney disease and non-communicable diseases among faculty members of Minia University.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted for early detection of chronic kidney disease and non-communicable diseases among faculty members of Minia University.240 participants were included in the study, using self-administered questionnaire. All participants were subjected to clinical examination and laboratory investigations.
Results: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among the involved faculty members of Minia University was 92.5%. Nearly two thirds of CKD patients were males while one third was female. Also, the current study demonstrated a relation between CKD with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and hypercholesterolemia (p =0.02 and 0.04 respectively). The frequency of CKD increased with age (p =0.001). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among the included faculty members of Minia University was 42.9%. There was a significant relation between DM and SBP (p =0.03). While the prevalence of hypertension among the studied faculty members of Minia University was 75.4%. It was more prevalent in males than in females. The prevalence of obesity/overweight among the involved faculty members of Minia University was 70.4%. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia among the included faculty members of Minia University was 73.8%. In the current study, hypercholesterolemia was more common in females. Also, we found that elevated total cholesterol increased with age. The prevalence of anemia among the studied faculty members of Minia University was 55.6%. Females were more affected.
Conclusions: The prevalence of CKD among the studied faculty members of Minia University was 92.5%. The prevalence of DM among the studied faculty members of Minia University was 42.9%. Nearly three-quarters of participants had hypertension. 73.8% of the studied faculty members had hypercholesterolemia while 55.6% had anemia.
