Abstract

This study aimed to identify socioeconomic variables that enhance the prevalence of any one of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) along with elevated blood pressure among Bangladeshi adults. Data were recorded from 995 people visiting diagnostic centres for blood screening. Among the interviewed persons, 67.0% were diabetic patients and 39.1% had at least one non-communicable disease other than diabetes. Again, 452 people were observed with elevated blood pressure, and 117 (11.8%) of them suffer from at least one non-communicable disease. These 11.8% of the adults were targeted patients. After analysis, it was noted that married persons, adults aged 25 to less than 40 years, secondary-level educated persons, adults of upper-medium economic background, obese adults, and diabetic patients in the early stage were suffering at higher rates. The duration of diabetes, body mass index, age, marital status, and occupation played a vital role in discriminating the patient group. Married persons, adults of the lower age group, and adults coming from families of upper medium economic condition had more than 200% higher risk.
