Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of death globally, imposing a heavy burden on the healthcare systems, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Iran is a country in the Middle-East region with an aging population and changing disease risk factors, and now is facing NCDs as the major health problem of the country. Investigating NCDs' risk factors and tackling preventable ones is the main intervention to control their heavy burden. In this review, we discussed the most critical risk factors in Iran and the implemented programs and action plans to control them. A better knowledge on current status of risk factors and plans to tackle them, could help policymakers effectively rule policies and allocate resources to curb heavy burden of NCDs in Iran.
非传染性疾病（NCDs）是全球主要死因，给医疗系统带来沉重负担，尤其是在低收入和中等收入国家。伊朗是中东地区的一个国家，人口老龄化且疾病风险因素不断变化，目前正面临非传染性疾病这一该国主要的健康问题。调查非传染性疾病的风险因素并应对可预防的因素是控制其沉重负担的主要干预措施。在本综述中，我们讨论了伊朗最关键的风险因素以及为控制这些因素而实施的项目和行动计划。更好地了解风险因素的现状及其应对计划，有助于政策制定者有效地制定政策并分配资源，以减轻伊朗非传染性疾病的沉重负担。
