Study STEPWise approach to non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors surveillance. This approach allows us to supervise general risk factors of NCDs, so that appropriate interventions for each group of risks and subjects can be given. This approach includes 3 steps. Step 1: to assess risk behaviours for NCDs such as smoking, drinking alcohol, less consumption of vegetable, sedentary lifestyle. Step 2: to measure some body indexes such as blood pressure, weight, height, waist circumference, etc. Step 3: perform some blood tests such as glycemia, lipidemia, etc.
