Abstract

Promoting and protecting health is essential to human well-being and to sustainable economic and social development. This was recognized more than 30 years ago by the signatories of the Alma Ata Declaration, who stated that Health for All would contribute to a better quality of life as well as peace and security in the global scale. Education, housing, food and employment all have an impact on health, which led us to ask ourselves the question of exploring common risk factors for non-communicable diseases. The objective is to determine the prevalence and analysis of knowledge on common risk factors for non-communicable diseases among 30 subjects aged over 35 in the city of Lubumbashi. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study which took place from June 30 to July 30, 2021 in the city of Lubumbashi. The calculations of prevalence and general characteristics were carried out by descriptive analysis. Then followed the analysis of knowledge and risk factors of non-communicable diseases, we used Stata 16.1 and QDA Miner Lite 1.4.3 software. The prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases was 1 (100%). The age group of 35 to 40 years old constitutes the modal class with 36.70%, the male sex was equal to the female sex with a sex ratio of 1. Respondents consuming less than 4 to 5 fruits per day are represented with only 20 samples out of a total of 30 i.e. 66.67%, consumption of alcoholic beverages in 26 cases, i.e. 86,67%, non-consumption of tobacco is poorly represented 3.33%, physical exercise is practiced less with a number of 21 cases or 70% among the respondents. The modes of contamination of non-communicable diseases are relatively well known among these actors who often cite the use of alcoholic beverages, smoking (tobacco leaf). At the end of this cross-sectional descriptive study, we note the reflection of insufficient health education exposing to the risk of non-communicable diseases, as well as for provide quality care and services to the Lushoise population, sufficient resources must be allocated to nutrition programs for proper awareness of the nutritional transition.
