INDIVIDUAL: Socio demographic and behavioural information (tobacco use, alcohol consumption, diet and physical activity); Tobacco use; Alcohol consumption; Low intake of fruit and vegetables; Diet high in salt; Physical inactivity; Physical measurements such as height, weight and blood pressure; Obesity; Raised fasting blood glucose; High levels of fat in the blood; Medical history; Cervical cancer screening; Biochemical measurements were collected to assess salt intake, blood glucose and cholesterol; Health care; Access to services.
The Nauru-STEPS survey was a representative, population-wide cross-sectional survey and involved collectingdata on levels of NCD risk factors among 15-64 year olds. Data collection moved along a sequential three-step process as follows:
The following topics were included in the survey: tobacco use, alcohol consumption, diet, physical activity, history of raised blood glucose, history of raised blood pressure, history of raised total cholesterol, and lifestyle advice. Additionally, the following measures were taken: blood pressure, height, weight, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol. Finally, the following optional modules were included: oral health and violence and injury.
This dataset is related to the "Traditional Diet" indicator. This indicator assesses the role of traditional diets, in particular their contribution to human health. In the survey report on food security conducted in Honiara City Market the main groups of dietary diversity found were: Beans/Legumes, Fruits, Gourds, Leafy Greens, Nuts, Root Vegetables, Poultry and Seafood. Most fruits are sourced from East and West Guadalcanal, followed by Savo Island, however Fruit from Nggela is heavier. Seafood is mostly coming from ‘Other’ places, including Western Province. T

STEPS is a household-based survey to obtain core data on the established risk factors that determine the major burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
Public-use dataset.
The Tongan NCD Risk Factors STEPS survey was a nation wide cross sectional assessment of 18 to 64 year olds carried out in from 12th of March to the 5th of May 2017 using WHO STEPS surveillance methodology and instruments.
The Nauru-STEPS was a nation-wide representative survey of 15 to 64 year olds with the following objectives:
1. To document the national prevalence and patterns of tobacco use, alcohol consumption, dietary behaviours, physical activity, body mass index, elevated blood pressure, and biochemical markers such as blood glucose and blood lipids in Nauru.
2. To provide reliable and up-to-date information on NCD risk factors for planning and evaluating public health initiatives, and for identifying future demands for health services in managing and treating NCDs.
