Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with stress being a recognized contributing factor to their onset and progression. In Yobe State, like many regions in Nigeria, the prevalence of CVDs is rising due to lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and chronic stress. Stress, especially chronic psychological stress, has been linked to high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and inflammation, all of which contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Despite the known effects of stress on heart health, there is limited research on stress management techniques and their role in reducing CVD risk in Yobe State. This study aims to evaluate the role of stress management practices in mitigating cardiovascular disease prevalence and improving heart health in the region.
Chronic stress is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in Yobe State, where many individuals face socioeconomic challenges and lack access to effective healthcare. Stress management practices, such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and exercise, are not widely adopted or integrated into public health strategies. This study aims to assess the impact of stress management on reducing the risk of CVDs and identify effective stress-relieving interventions for the residents of Yobe State.
The study will focus on adults aged 25-60 in Yobe State, specifically in urban and rural areas. Limitations may include challenges in measuring subjective stress levels and the availability of consistent data on cardiovascular health.
