Screening for chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and hypertension remains low, despite increasing prevalence of diagnosed conditions. Integrated cardiovascular risk factor screening and improved treatment rates are recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Chronic Disease Management

Context:

  • Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) represent a significant global health burden.
  • Regular screening is crucial for early detection and management of NCDs.
  • Understanding screening and treatment uptake is vital for public health strategies.

Purpose:

  • To present the prevalence of adults undergoing screening for NCDs in the past year.
  • To report the prevalence of previously diagnosed NCDs (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia).
  • To determine the proportion of patients with diagnosed NCDs who are on pharmacologic treatment.

Summary:

  • Screening rates for diabetes (12.2%), hypertension (9.1%), and dyslipidemia (9.0%) in the past year were low.
  • Prevalence of diagnosed diabetes (10.9%), hypertension (15.9%), and hypercholesterolemia (30.6%) were observed.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Treatment adherence was high for diabetes (89.5%) and hypertension (81.7%), but lower for hypercholesterolemia (60.4%).

    • Impact:

    • Screening rates for NCDs are suboptimal and have decreased since 2012.
    • Prevalence of diagnosed diabetes and hypercholesterolemia has increased; hypertension has slightly decreased.
    • Integrated screening for cardiovascular risk factors and enhanced treatment rates are recommended.
