“…As per the results of studies conducted in our country during the Soviet era, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 17.0%–19.6% and was lower among highlanders (14, 15, 26). According to the STEPS study conducted by the WHO, the frequency of hypercholesterolemia was 23.3%, where the mean cholesterol level was 4.4 (95% CI 4.3–4.7) mmol/L and the TC level was >6.2 mmol/L in 4.7% of the examined cohort ( 27 ); this was significantly lower than the analogous indicators identified in our study. In the Russian Federation, as per the epidemiologic study, ECVD-RF prevalence of raised TC level was 57.6% ( 22 ).…”

“…However, it is well known that DM can be asymptomatic for a long time and is often diagnosed in the later, more advanced stages. In the STEPS study, DM was found in 8.8% of the surveyed population, and another 4.5% of the respondents had carbohydrate metabolism disorders ( 27 ). According to WHO data, there has been a steady worldwide increase in the number of patients with DM, and >70% of these patients live in low and middle-income countries.…”

“…Since respondents were selected using a multi-stage cluster random sampling technique and analyses were adjusted for the complex survey design, we are convinced that the obtained results could be generalized to the whole population. Also, our study used 2 biochemical test measurements to diagnose T2DM, whereas most of the previous studies used a single biochemical measurement ( 10 , 47 49 ), which has its own limitations.…”

“…For instance, physical inactivity data for Bahrain, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Syria, and Uzbekistan were derived from a study on the prevalence of physical inactivity in Muslim countries [26]. The data for Kyrgyzstan were also obtained from a study on the prevalence of risk factors for noninvasive diseases [27]. Additionally, the obesity and overweight data for Georgia were not mentioned in the reference and, consequently, the required information was obtained from ‘Overweight and Obesity in Georgia’ in 2005 [28].…”
