Kuwait World Health Survey 2008-2010 - Gulf Cooperation Council Countries
General Info
The World Health Survey Plus (WHS+) was implemented in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in order to collect comparable data for informing strategic planning, program management, monitoring, and evaluation. The Kuwait World Health Survey 2008-2010 collected socioeconomic, demographic, and health data, particularly related to wellbeing, health care utilization, and risk factors for various diseases.
Three questionnaires were used: one for the household; one for individuals; and one for non-national individuals in labor camps, collective families, and domestic workers. A total of 4,389 households were interviewed, including 5,004 individuals in both standard and non-standard households.
Measurements included height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure. Biochemical measurements were obtained for fasting blood glucose and total cholesterol levels.
