Median (IQR) prevalence of T2DM, HTN, dyslipidemia and smoking were 5.9% (1.97%-8.25%); 15.1% (10.52%-17.60%); 34.35% (10.66%-48.50%) and 40.56% (0.80%-55.95%), respectively. The prevalence of T2DM and dyslipidemia were significantly higher in urban compared to rural populations (13.5 vs 6%, p<0.001; 41.5 vs 30%, p = 0.007, respectively). Conclusions: The prevalence of risk factors for CVDs is high in Bangladesh, more so in urban areas. Ageing of the population may be a factor but urbanization seems to have an influence, possibly related to changes in dietary and physical activity patterns. Further research, in particular longitudinal studies, is needed to explore the complex interaction of these factors and to inform policies and programs for the prevention and management of CVDs in Bangladesh.]]> Wed 23 Feb 2022 16:05:17 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22667 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:18:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27665 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:19:59 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25057 Wed 09 Mar 2022 15:59:38 AEDT ]]>
