Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have emerged as a major public health concern in Bangladesh. With rapid urbanization, changing lifestyles, and increasing life expectancy, the burden of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases is rising significantly.
This research project aims to conduct a nationwide assessment of the prevalence, distribution, and determinants of NCD risk factors among the adult population of Bangladesh. The study will collect data from multiple regions to analyze behavioral, environmental, and socio-economic influences that contribute to NCD development.
The project will utilize a combination of population surveys, clinical assessments, and statistical modeling to generate reliable evidence for policy development. The outcomes of this research are expected to support national health programs, strengthen preventive healthcare strategies, and contribute to evidence-based policymaking in Bangladesh.
