Socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of chronic non-communicable disease risk factors in the DIMAMO health and demographic surveillance system

Abstract

The findings of the current study reveal a dual burden of NCD risk factors across socioeconomic groups; behavioral risks are concentrated among the poor, while metabolic conditions such as diabetes are more common among the affluent. Addressing these disparities requires context-specific interventions that target both behavioral and metabolic risk factors across all socioeconomic strata.
