The national survey of noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factors in Myanmar was carried out from September to December in 2014. The survey was a population-based survey of adults aged 25-64. A multistage cluster sample design was used to produce representative data for that age range from 52 townships in Myanmar. A total of 8757 adults participated in the survey. The survey collected information on sociodemographic and behavioural characteristics, physical measurements such as height, weight and blood pressure and biochemical measurements (blood glucose-both fasting and 2-h PG, levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL. The overall response rate was 94% for risk factors, 91% for physical measurements and 90% for biochemical measurements.

Summary: 

The STEPS Noncommunicable Disease Risk Factors Survey uses a survey methodology developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to help countries establish noncommunicable disease surveillance systems. Some surveys are conducted at the country level and others at the subnational level. The methodology prescribes three steps—questionnaire, physical measurements, and biochemical measurements. Core topics covered by most surveys are demographics, health status, and health behaviors. These provide data on socioeconomic risk factors and metabolic, nutritional, and lifestyle risk factors. Details may differ from country to country and from year to year. 

This subnational survey, conducted in four Cameroonian urban sentinel sites (Biyem Assi, Cité des Palmiers, Bamenda, and Garoua Urban), included smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, physical activity, physical measurements, and medical history.
