چکیده مقاله:

Background and Aim: Understanding the prevalence of risk factors for non-communicable diseases and the extent of socio-economic factors affecting their occurrence is very important in order to plan to reduce the burden of disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of socio-economic factors on exposure to behavioral risk factors for non-communicable diseases in Military Households. Methods: This research is an applied study that was performed cross-sectionally on 1204 families of the Armed Forces participating in the National Survey of Risk Factors for Non-Communicable Diseases in Iran (STEPS). The data collection tool was a questionnaire adapted from a standard questionnaire (non-communicable disease care system questionnaire in the Islamic Republic of Iran). Data analysis was performed using estimation of logistic regression models using Excel and STATA software. Results: The prevalence of smoking, unhealthy diet, and sedentary lifestyle in Iranian military households were 5.7%, 34%, and 58.6%. The probability of smoking among middle-aged people (45-59 years) was 2.19 times higher than the elderly (60 years old) (P=0.016). The probability of unhealthy diet in illiterate people was significantly 2.13 times higher than those with diploma and university education (P<0.001). The probability of sedentary lifestyle in women was significantly 1.77 times higher than men (P<0.001), 1.34 times higher in those with undergraduate degrees (P<0.033), and in unemployed people 2.07 times higher than retirees (P<0.033). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that to address health challenges and reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases, attention to the socio-economic status of households, and reduce socio-economic inequalities of households should be considered along with controlling the risk factors for non-communicable diseases.
