What does this research mean for the field?

Between 2007 and 2016, Iranian adults experienced improvements in blood pressure, smoking, total cholesterol, and fasting plasma glucose, but worsening trends in physical activity, diet, and BMI, resulting in less than 4% of the population meeting ≥6 ideal cardiovascular health metrics.

Comparison

Trends from 2007 to 2016 across three surveys

Design

Three cross-sectional surveillance surveys (STEPS)

Overview

Mixed CVH trends signal need for sustained prevention; leaves open optimal strategies to reverse rising BMI and inactivity.

Structured PICO

Population

37,084 Iranian adults (19,841 women and 17,243 men), aged 20-65 years.

Outcome

Trends in 7 cardiovascular health metrics (smoking, physical activity, diet, body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, and blood pressure level) from 2007 to 2016
