In Jordan, the average life expectancy in 2002 was 72 years, and chronic diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent. Because personal behavior can influence the occurrence and progression of many chronic diseases, the Jordan Ministry of Health (JMoH) established surveillance for behavioral risk factors, particularly those related to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. This report summarizes the key findings of the 2002 Behavioral Risk Factor Survey, the first reporting segment in Jordan's surveillance program for chronic diseases. The findings indicate that smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity contribute substantially to the burden of chronic disease in Jordan and underscores the need for effective public health interventions.
在约旦，2002年的平均预期寿命为72岁，慢性病正变得越来越普遍。由于个人行为会影响许多慢性病的发生和发展，约旦卫生部（JMoH）对行为危险因素进行了监测，特别是那些与心血管疾病和糖尿病相关的因素。本报告总结了2002年行为危险因素调查的主要结果，这是约旦慢性病监测计划中的首个报告部分。调查结果表明，吸烟、缺乏体育锻炼和肥胖在很大程度上导致了约旦慢性病的负担，并强调了采取有效公共卫生干预措施的必要性。
