This study was conducted to examine the relationship between urbanization and risk factors of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) according to the World Health Organization stepwise approach to surveillance of NCDs. This study is part of a NCD risk factor surveillance of 10 069 individuals in all provinces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, aged over 20 years, during 2011. By utilizing 2011 census data, urbanization levels were determined in all provinces and logistics regression was used to examine the relationship between urbanization and risk factors. Among males, urbanization had a positive correlation with low physical activity (OR=1.7; 95% CI: 1.42-2.09), low fruit and vegetable consumption (OR=1.8; 95% CI: 1.09-2.96), and high BMI (OR=1.4; 95% CI: 1.20-1.70). Among females there was a positive and significant correlation with low physical activity (OR=1.2; 95% CI: 1.08-1.49), low fruit and vegetable consumption (OR=1.22; 95% CI: 0.78-1.91) and high BMI (OR=1.3; 95% CI: 1.14-1.53). Thus, urbanization has a significant correlation with increases in NCD factors in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
本研究旨在根据世界卫生组织非传染性疾病监测的逐步方法，探讨城市化与非传染性疾病（NCDs）风险因素之间的关系。本研究是2011年对伊朗伊斯兰共和国所有省份10069名20岁以上个体进行的非传染性疾病风险因素监测的一部分。利用2011年人口普查数据确定了所有省份的城市化水平，并采用逻辑回归分析来研究城市化与风险因素之间的关系。在男性中，城市化与低体力活动（OR=1.7；95%CI：1.42-2.09）、低水果和蔬菜摄入量（OR=1.8；95%CI：1.09-2.96）以及高体重指数（OR=1.4；95%CI：1.20-1.70）呈正相关。在女性中，城市化与低体力活动（OR=1.2；95%CI：1.08-1.49）、低水果和蔬菜摄入量（OR=1.22；95%CI：0.78-1.91）以及高体重指数（OR=1.3；95%CI：1.14-1.53）呈显著正相关。因此，在伊朗伊斯兰共和国，城市化与非传染性疾病因素的增加显著相关。
