“…Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for CVD and is closely related to age, weight, level of education, and place of residence [7]. Physical activity (PA) is the movement of a skeletomuscular system that produces a considerable increase in energy over a resting state [6] [9] [11] [12]. PA was not always a protective agent for developing CVD in some age groups, which indicates that A. Al-Saber, A.-N.

Background: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one of the leading chronic diseases in Saudi Arabia (SA) that cause disability and death. CVD predisposition risk varies according to age, gender, education, socioeconomic factors, and place of residency. In addition, CVD risk factors include physical inactivity, sedentary lifestyle, saturated fatty acid high diet, smoking, and stress. Aim: This is a systematic review study that aims to determine the effect of mindful mediation, physical activity, and diet on CVD in SA. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic electronic search method in Google scholar, PubMed, and Medline. Papers collected are papers that have been published since 2015. The search uses the following keywords: (Cardiovascular disease OR physical activity OR Physical inactivity OR meditation OR diet) AND Saudi Arabia. Data were extracted from each study through a narrative summary of each study. Results: Forty papers collected from 2015 to 2022 were included in the narrative study. Physical activity, diet, and mindful meditation are among the factors that can reduce the risk of development of CVD or severity of disease in patients with a CVD. Conclusion: This systematic review emphasized risk factors like physical inactivity, poor diet, and low level of awareness among Saudis and CVD Saudi patients. The findings show the role of physical activity, mindful meditation, and diet in reducing the onset or severity of cardiovascular disease.

“…The cross-cultural study found that, in the UK, 72.3% of youth in Birmingham and 77.2% of youth in Coventry reached the recommended level of total metabolic equivalent minutes per week (METmin/wk), whereas the percentage was only 26% among Saudi youth (Al-Nakeeb et al, 2012). More recently research has suggested that more than 63% of people living in the UK aged 16 and over has been classified as physically active whereas over 58% of Saudi population mostly female (68%) are considered as physically inactive (Almaqhawi, 2021, Sharara et al, 2018. Although few studies have been conducted in Saudi Arabia to identify the prevalence of PA levels, however, objectively monitoring PA levels in this population is scarce (Al-Hazzaa, 2007, Al-Hazzaa andAl-Rasheedi, 2007).…”

Background:The inactive lifestyle is becoming prevalent in many developed and developing countries including Saudi Arabia. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of neighborhoods' characteristics on physical activity (PA) levels and body mass index (BMI) in Saudi adolescents. Methods:The anthropometric measurement of 380 secondary-school (boys = 199; girls = 181) from different geographical locations such as urban, rural farm and rural desert was taken using the Seca digital scales for weight and Seca portable measure for height. The BMI was calculated using the formula kg/m 2 followed by participants wearing piezoelectric, New-Lifestyles NL-2000 PA Monitor, and completing the international physical activity short form questionnaire. Results:The findings indicated, an average boys recorded 9180 steps per day compared to girls 5580 and the univariate ANOVA revealed a significant difference between genders steps per day in three geographical areas (F 1,334 = 70.01, p < 0.001). The BMI results demonstrated that participant from rural farm had lower BMI (mean = 21.01 kg/m 2 ) compared to urban location (mean = 24.12 kg/m 2 ) and rural desert youth (mean = 25.58 kg/m 2 ) indicating significant differences in BMI status in geographical locations (F 2,379 = 16.40, p < 0.001). Conclusion:The inactivity and obesity prevalence are prevalent amongst demographic groups in Al-Ahsa. Therefore, future policies and interventions could target this populations especially the rural desert youth in which the health risk could be higher.
