Foreword With the changing lifestyle and dietary habits in the world, the Middle East region is expected to face one of

the world’s greatest increases in the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) burden and related risk factors over coming decades. Most of this increase is anticipated to affect the economically productive age of 45-64 year, although in most of developed countries it is in >65 years old. The Islamic Republic of Iran is in the population transmutation and significant health states. PHC in Iran is a strong network of health care affaires with a proper coverage in rural areas, so that health improvement has been experienced on communicable diseases well controlled.

Now burden of non-communicable diseases is dominated as an important priority in health promotion by considering urbanization and aging growing. Iran has initiated some plans including new tobacco control legislation, injury control and safe dietary, health education campaigns to prevent NCDs added and a numbers of NCDs intervention programs to manage diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer faces to NCDs burden. In this document the NCD risk factors (tobacco, diet, physical activity, body weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and lipids) in Iran, are presented.

The results are based on a nationwide survey of over 30,000 Iranian aged 15-64 conducted in 2009. The survey is part of global effort, stepwise approach to surveillance of Non Communicable Diseases (STEPs), to collect qualified information to public health plans. Until now it is the 5TH round of steps in Iran which can prepare a picture of risk factors of NCDs in different age groups. The non-communicable risk factors surveillance office in center for non communicable diseases Control Cooperation with universities health deputies NCDs units’ experts and health staffs and research centers, produced this report as a request by the world health organization for the ministry of health to monitor its current state of NCDs and related risk factors.

41 universities and faculties health staff played an essential role in planning and implementing this study. Their commitment is gratefully acknowledged. Also supporting by several thousand people whose taking part willingness in this study is very appreciated. This document will encourage further collaboration in continuing to collect qualify information that will help policy makers health planning and services in different parts of Iran. Now Iran has a strong network and structure of these groups with good quality of technical support and assistance to run the survey periodically and monitor the NCDs trends.

Chronic diseases are responsible for 60% deaths and 47% of global burden of diseases in the world in 2020. 80% of chronic disease deaths occur in low and middle income countries. The major risk factors are preventable and account for 80% of deaths from heart disease and stroke. Iran is the second most populous country in the Middle East region. From major groups of diseases and injuries, non-communicable diseases cause the most disease burden in Iran: 45% for males and 33% for females from all-causes total burden for both sexes. Obesity and overweight, arterial hypertension, inadequate physical activity, hypercholesterolemia, and addiction are the first 5 risk factors causing the highest proportion of burden: 68% of risk factor burden, 11% of total burden of disease, with 1.6 million DALYs altogether based on the Ministry of Health’s Burden of Disease Study, 2003.

Implementing Systematic NCD common risk factors Surveillance via STEPs, the WHO recommended NCD surveillance tool, offers a common approach to defining core variables for surveys with the goal of achieving data comparability over time within and between countries. This tool offers an entry point to get started or improved in NCD activities and strengthen infrastructure for monitoring and evaluating of NCD control program and prepare a qualified supportive infrastructure for NCD preventive research.

National NCD risk factor surveillance system of Iran has been established since 2005 through which continuous large-scale surveillance surveys conducted to find out the existing situation of NCD risk factors in 15 to 64 year-old Iranian citizens and disseminating produced information and focuses on advocacy to capacity building for running three national policies; to counter low physical activity, unhealthy diet and smoking, by considering a national strategy which included all intra and extra sectoral coordination affaires.

It is planned for subsequent and continues similar surveys to follow the trend of these risks and will hold up-to-date risk-factor data for each of the 30 provinces and country level trend. This report presented the results of the third national Survey of Risk Factors of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD-SuRF) of Iran, provided the demographic, anthropometric, behavioral and biochemical characteristics of a nationally representative sample of 30000 Iranians, aged 15-64. Summary profiles of available country and provincial level data will be updated continuously and published at regular intervals.

Iran NCD Risk Factors STEPs Report 9

Executive Summary Stepwise Non-communicable Diseases Risk Factors Survey in Iran (Iran – STEPs) is a surveillance tool recommended by WHO. Iran STEPs was planned as a nationwide system to all over the country in cooperation with 41 universities, to obtain a valid and continuous evidence to assist the effective affairs of prevention and control programs representative of 15-64 years old. Objectives:

• To develop infrastructure for NCDs risk factor surveillance and strengthen the monitoring and evaluating of NCD control intervention program priorities.

• To provide national and provincial reliable and up-to-date information resources on risk factors to map prevalence, trend and distribution.

• To prepare a tool for evidence-based public health decision making with the ultimate aim of containing and reducing the emerging epidemic of non-communicable diseases

• To prepare a supportive infrastructure for NCD preventive research to view effective interventions • To promote the level of knowledge, reinforcement and enlargement of public health capacity in NCD

prevention and PHC services. The planning and running of survey was based on the World Health Organization STEPs as the third round in Iran. It was a population base cross sectional survey, representative the national pattern of NCDs risk factors, among 15- 64 years old. Data collection questionnaire was categorized in sequential three-step process as follows:

STEP 1: Interview-based on demographic and behavioral risk factors including tobacco use, diet, physical activity, history of high blood pressure, diabetes and additional issues such as: fastening front seat belt and insurance coverage.

STEP 2: Physiological measures of health risk factors such as blood pressure, body mass and waist

girth circumference.

STEP 3: Biochemical measures of health risks including fasting blood glucose and blood lipids.

All aspects of survey were managed by Iran steps team.

The sample size was 30,000 participants aged 15-64 years old from 30 provinces across Iran.

10 Iran NCD Risk Factors STEPs Report

Methodology: The third round of national STEPs was conducted in March 2007 based on “ WHO Stepwise approach” to surveillance for NCD risk factors with respect of standardized data collection as well as sufficient flexibility in appropriate a variety of country situations and setting. It was comprised 30000 Iranian citizens aged 15-64 years old. All selected participants were invited to participate by receiving informed consent. This survey was conducted by using a cluster sampling. Each cluster was selected by randomly method and stratified by age and sex stratum. Sampling frame was defined in 50 clusters for every 30 provinces. Each cluster was selected based on random cluster sampling. 10 male and 10 female, 20 samples in each age group, living in neighboring households in 5 age groups stratum. There is no distinction between rural and urban areas in samples, so that the samples were selected proportional to urban- rural population. This sample size approximates a 0.06 % sampling fraction of the target population in the 15-64 year age group. It was agreed that approximately 1000 samples participate in each province in urban/rural population size proportionally. STEPs staff participated intensive training program techniques, through demonstrations and role-plays, and practiced interview and engaged in discussions to clarify issues surrounding item and technical and medical requirements follow the same process for the first and second survey. All participants were visited by trained interviewers and all selected individuals were invited to participate in all three steps. Steps questionnaire: The core questions in 3 steps instrument remained unchanged. Additional items relating to NCD control and prevention to be included by survey team agreement as optional and expanded questions. Step 1: Demographic and Behavioral Assessments: Data for step 1 were collected in 6 different domains: demographic information, diet, physical activity, tobacco use, history of hypertension and diabetes. Occupation, sex, age, province and area of evidence were included in demographic information and diet information; consist of fruit and vegetable servings consumed per day for a usual week and common type of oil or fat used by the family. Step 2: Physical measurements Weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured, in light clothing without shoes, by portable calibrated electronic weighting scale, a portable height scale and constant tension tape at the end of a normal expiration (except for female participants who were pregnant) and calibrated. Omron M7 sphygmomanometer (HEM-780-E), average of 5 minutes for 3 measurement intervals respectively. Quality control for each measurement was monitored through periodic checks conducted by STEPs team supervisors in provinces. Blood pressure was measured three items and the mean value of them was recorded for analysis. Step 3: Biochemical risk factor measurements Fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein level were determined. Laboratory personnel in MOH and universities, who were familiar with the STEP 3 protocols, ensured quality control and supervised the process.

4. Physical Activity Physical activity data analysis which is done based on WHO guide lines, can be very complicated.

The guidelines clarify the results of the physical activity data and also provide valuable information on the classifications to report related data.

MET (Metabolic Equivalent) values are applied to vigorous and moderate intensity variables in the work, transport and recreation domains. These have been calculated using an average of the typical types of activity undertaken. Calculating total physical activity and different types of activities have been grouped together and given a MET value based on the intensity of the activity. Survey participants were asked to report on the frequency and duration of physical activity as part of work, travel to and from places and recreational activities separately including:

• The work involves vigorous-intensity activity that causes large increases in breathing or heart rate for at least 10 minutes continuously, moderate-intensity activity, that causes small increases in breathing or heart rate such as brisk walking for at least 10 minutes continuously, how many days and how much time they spend doing vigorous and moderate -intensity activities at work on a typical day.

• In transportation they walk or use a bicycle for at least 10 minutes continuously, how many days and how much time in a typical week.

• In recreational activities if any involve vigorous or moderate- intensity sports, fitness or recreational activities that cause large increases in breathing or heart rate for at least 10 minutes continuously, how many days and how much time In sedentary behavior also, how much time they usually spend sitting or reclining on a typical day. The Following Section Presents physical activity levels in terms of low, moderate and high, mean and mediam minutes of; total; work-related, transport-related and recreation-related physical activity on average per day and no physical activity in any parts and composition of Total physical activity by sex and age groups.

6. Physical Measurements/ Raised Blood Pressure This part presents data on height, weight, and body mass index among in all respondent participating

in step 2 (excluding pregnant women for weight and BMI). Waist measurement was also taken as a measure of central obesity, which is considered to be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

The prevalence of hypertension (a mean systolic pressure>140 mmHg and/or a mean diastolic pressure> 90 mmHg and/or self-reported current use of anti-hypertensive medication), whether and/ or not they had previously been told by a health worker that they had elevated blood pressure, was identified based on systolic and diastolic measurements of blood pressure in three times among all respondents, excluding those currently on medication for raised blood pressure. Thresholds for hypertension were computed according to the WHO guidelines.

All respondents were asked if they have been treated for raised blood pressure with drugs (medication) prescribed by a doctor or other health worker during the past two weeks.
