The relationships that age and gender share with risk factors (RFs) of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) were assessed among a large-scale employ in Western Iran.
In this epidemiologic cross-sectional study, 7129 employees from Kermanshah Province were assessed using a census method in 2012. Data on RFs of NCD were collected using a standard questionnaire. Demographic information, diet, physical activity, tobacco use, and history of hypertension, history of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and cancer were studied.
The proportion of ≥5 servings of fruits and vegetables consumption per day was lower in higher ages ( = 0.001), and this proportion was greater in females than males (72.1% vs. 47.8%; < 0.0001). Tobacco use was more in higher ages and was higher among males than females (13.3% vs. 0.6%; < 0.0001). Overweight and obesity prevalence increased in higher ages and was more prominent among males than females (67.8% vs. 55.3%; < 0.0001). Overall, the prevalence of having 3-5 RFs was greater among those with ≥55 years and among males than females (20.4% vs. 6.6%; < 0.0001).
The prevalence of major RFs of NCDs was greater among older persons and male participants. More preventive programs such as health education on employees of Kermanshah are recommended.
在伊朗西部的大规模就业人群中评估了年龄和性别与非传染性疾病（NCD）风险因素（RF）之间的关系。
在这项横断面流行病学研究中，2012年采用普查方法对克尔曼沙阿省的7129名员工进行了评估。使用标准问卷收集非传染性疾病风险因素的数据。研究了人口统计学信息、饮食、身体活动、烟草使用以及高血压病史、糖尿病病史、心血管疾病、骨质疏松症和癌症病史。
每天食用≥5份水果和蔬菜的比例在较高年龄段较低（P = 0.001），女性的这一比例高于男性（72.1%对47.8%；P < 0.0001）。烟草使用在较高年龄段更为普遍，男性高于女性（13.3%对0.6%；P < 0.0001）。超重和肥胖患病率在较高年龄段增加，男性比女性更为突出（67.8%对55.3%；P < 0.0001）。总体而言，有3 - 5个风险因素的患病率在≥55岁人群中以及男性中高于女性（20.4%对6.6%；P < 0.0001）。
非传染性疾病主要风险因素的患病率在老年人和男性参与者中更高。建议对克尔曼沙阿的员工开展更多预防项目，如健康教育。
