Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge among adults in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia, concerning dietary fat and the risk of coronary heart disease. We assessed the overall knowledge levels among 393 adults who were waiting to see their physicians at Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs). Since the overall knowledge levels were high, we conclude that health education should concentrate on clarifying areas of misunderstanding shown by this study. Further, the importance of addressing perceived barriers is discussed.
