Risk factors for non-communicable diseases among Bangladeshi adults: an application of generalised linear mixed model on multilevel demographic and health survey data
This study highlights the strong association between DM and HTN and identifies age, overweight status and higher socioeconomic class as key risk factors. These findings underscore the need for integrated public health strategies targeting NCD prevention and management in Bangladesh. Further research should explore longitudinal trends and the impact of targeted interventions on reducing the burden of NCDs.
