WHO | SuRF 2: "The SuRF Report 2: Surveillance of chronic disease Risk Factors:
Country-level data and comparable estimates
This report is the second in the Surveillance of Risk Factors Report Series. SuRF2 updates the Country Profiles provided by SuRF1 in 2003. SuRF2 also presents, for the first time, comparable country-level estimates for raised blood pressure, obesity, and overweight.
The focus of the Country Profiles is recent, nationally representative risk factor data. The risk factors included in this report are those that make the greatest contribution to mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular disease, can be changed through primary intervention, and are easily measured in populations. These risk factors are:
* tobacco and alcohol use
* patterns of physical inactivity
* low fruit/vegetable intake
* overweight/obesity
* blood pressure
* cholesterol
* diabetes
The text of SuRF2 (which includes everything but the Country Profiles) can be viewed in its entirety by clicking here, view complete SuRF2.
Otherwise individual sections of the report can be viewed by using the left hand navigation.
The global maps and data tables for the country-level comparable estimates are available in the Comparable estimates section."
