Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease is a significant health risk for Hajj pilgrims, particularly those from East Java, Indonesia, with a notable number suffering from underlying conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
- A retrospective study reviewed data from over 72,000 pilgrims across three years, revealing high hospitalization (971 per 100,000) and mortality rates (240 per 100,000) linked to factors like age, gender, and obesity.
- Key findings indicate that men, older individuals, and those with diabetes or obesity are at higher risk for severe outcomes, with cardiovascular disease being the leading cause of mortality during the Hajj period.
