Tóm tắt :

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the principal cause of morbidity, disability and premature mortality throughout the WHO European Region, and Kosovo[1] is no exception in this regard. The most effective way to reduce the NCD burden is to prevent NCD development, by addressing the behavioural risk factors underlying NCDs – smoking, alcohol use, excessive salt intake, low physical activity, overweight and obesity, and unhealthy diet – at population and individual levels. A survey was conducted in 2019 to assess the prevalence of major NCD risk factors in Kosovo[1] covering all 38 municipalities. It was aligned with the WHO‑endorsed STEPwise approach to surveillance (STEPS) methodology. The survey results provide an objective view of the current situation in Kosovo[1] regarding the prevalence of NCD risk factors in the adult population and of the health systems response. The results reveal that the prevalence of smoking and hypertension in Kosovo[1] is higher than the European Region average, while alcohol consumption and obesity prevalence are lower. The overall prevalence of diabetes is lower than the global average level, but is similar to that of the WHO European Region. The results of the survey will inform approaches to NCD prevention and control over the coming years.
