Summary:
This study on CVD disease risk factors in Lebanon addresses a broad range of public
health challenges consequent to the accelerated increase in the adoption of unhealthy
lifestyles. A range of historical developments, including rapid urbanization, economic
growth, technical change and modernization, continue to characterize the Lebanese
population. All of this has brought about significant conversion in behaviors and,
subsequently, an accelerated rise in CVDs.
