Abstract
Background: Abdominal wall hernia has many types, such as umbilical, para-umbilical, epigastric, femoral, and inguinal, and has a variety of risk factors, including obesity. This study aims to analyze the prevalence, risk factors, and comorbidities among patients of both sexes of the Saudi Arabian population.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. The target population is adult males and females. A total sample of 421 patients. They are included according to their age. Assessing the prevalence with associated risk factors and comorbidity. Data were collected through an online questionnaire via a Google form. From June to August 2023. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of abdominal hernia and identify the risk factors and comorbidities that increase incidence.
Results: In the study, we collected data from 421 participants in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We found that the prevalence of hernia was 14.01%, where 64.8% of participants were female, and 32.1% were older than 51. There was a variation of knowledge between the participants regarding some of the risk factors. The majority knew about the relationship between hernia occurrence and being asthmatic, constipation, pregnancy, and heavy weightlifting. However, most showed no knowledge about being diabetic and a smoker being a risk factor for having a hernia.
Conclusion: The findings showed that a large number did not have enough information about hernia or had hernia before; the majority knew the treatment of hernia is surgical and know the risk factors, such as heavy weightlifting, constipation, pregnancy, labor, and asthma, can lead to hernia. However, most of them did not know how to smoke, and being diabetic might lead to a hernia.

Key words: Hernia, Riyadh, Prevalence, Risk factors.
