Armenia STEPS Survey 2016: Summary of Key Results

This report presents detailed results from the Armenia STEPS Survey 2016, providing statistical breakdowns by sex and age groups (18–69 and 45–69 years). It covers the prevalence of major noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factors in Armenia using standardized WHO STEPS methodology. 

 

Included in the results: 

  • Smoking and alcohol use prevalence 
  • Fruit and vegetable consumption patterns 
  • Salt intake and processed food habits 
  • Levels of physical activity 
  • Obesity and overweight rates 
  • Blood pressure and hypertension prevalence 
  • Blood glucose and cholesterol levels 
  • 10-year cardiovascular risk estimates 
  • Combined risk factor profiles by age and sex 

These findings support Armenia’s evidence-based approach to public health planning, particularly in NCD prevention and health systems response.
