Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies high prevalence of risk behaviours in adolescents, suggesting urban residency and age as key predictors.

Key Points

  • The study found that 16.6% of adolescents exhibited at least three co-occurring NCDs risk behaviours.
  • Younger age, male sex, and urban residency were significant predictors of multiple NCDs risk behaviours.
  • A random sample of 607 in-school adolescents was surveyed using an interviewer-administered questionnaire.
  • The high prevalence of risk behaviours highlights the need for targeted interventions among adolescents.
