The sample of the study consists of (869) participants. Results: The study distributed 869 surveys which show that the estimation of females was (54%), while males (46%), most of the participants in this study were at age (18-30) years old, and the majority of them reported at least one chronic condition. Conclusions: This study concluded that most of the participants were female (54%), middle-aged, and reported a high prevalence of suffering from physical health symptoms such as hypertension, diabetes, and diarrhea.
