Documentation prior to any conservation and restoration works is considered as a basic pre-requisite for understanding an historic building or site. For the last seven years the newly formed Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi)1 has been actively involved in conservation of built heritage in Abu Dhabi Emirate with the help of its Conservation Section. Traditional materials like stone, earth and palm wood were used in combination with local construction methods. The larger area of Abu Dhabi Emirate comprised of archaeological sites, cultural landscapes and historic buildings dating back to 3rd millennium to the recent pre-oil era. The ancient oasis-city of Al Ain in Abu Dhabi Emirate still retains the most important and outstanding cultural heritage of United Arab Emirates (UAE). PMID:21940918ĭocumentation and Monitoring of Built Heritage in Abu Dhabi, Uae The data form a baseline against which interventions can be implemented and progress monitored as part of the population-wide Abu Dhabi Cardiovascular Disease Program. This population-wide cardiovascular screening program demonstrated a high cardiovascular burden for our small sample in Abu Dhabi. Age-standardized diabetes and prediabetes rates were 25% and 30%, respectively, and age-standardized rates of obesity and overweight were 41% and 34%. In addition, 26% of men were smokers, compared with 0.8% of women.
Risk factor prevalence rates were as follows: obesity, 35% overweight, 32% central obesity, 55% diabetes, 18% prediabetes, 27% dyslipidemia, 44% and hypertension, 23.1%. We used self-reported indicators, anthropometric measures, and blood tests to screen 50 138 adults aged 18 years or older taking part in a population-wide cardiovascular screening program. We sought to determine cardiovascular risk factor prevalence rates among adults in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
