Abstract

Non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes are increasing in rural areas of Vietnam, are becoming the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. but the detection and treatment rates remain low. The objective of this study was to assess the current status of non-communicable diseases and associated risk factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 2,002 participants from three districts in Cao Bang province. Data were collected through interviews, blood pressure measurements, and fasting blood glucose tests. The study results showed that the prevalence of hypertension was 33.9%, with the highest rate in Ha Quang (47.2%). Only 5.4% of individuals with diabetes had been diagnosed. The average blood glucose level was 6.19 mmol/l. There is a need to strengthen early disease screening and promote lifestyle changes to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, particularly in areas with limited healthcare access.
