Overview

Retrospective analysis of health screenings identifies high prevalence of non-communicable diseases and modifiable risk factors.

Key Points

  • High prevalence of non-communicable diseases like pre-diabetes and hypertension was found in the UAE, impacting public health significantly.
  • Results showed that 17.3% of participants had pre-diabetes, and 13.9% had hypertension, highlighting a need for health interventions.
  • Retrospective cross-sectional analysis on 34,290 health screening participants from 2021 to 2023 was conducted across various UAE regions.
  • These findings suggest strong correlations between age, sex, and modifiable risk factors, emphasizing the need for targeted public health services.
