Prevalence and Associated Factors of Chronic Diseases Among Adults in Somaliland: A Multilevel Analysis From the 2020 SLHDS
Findings suggest that self-reported chronic diseases are associated with specific socio-demographic vulnerabilities in Somaliland. The results should be interpreted with extreme caution and viewed as hypothesis-generating at best. Future research using objective measures and representative sampling is urgently needed to validate these associations and accurately quantify the NCD burden.
