Purpose: The burden of diabetes in Mongolia has risen tremendously over the last three decades, and an individually tracked, national registry of diabetes is lacking. Therefore, we aim to investigate diabetes prevalence in Mongolia and analyze some associated factors.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional, nationally representative, population-based survey was carried out in Mongolia.
Objectives: Infections with hepatitis B, C, and D virus (HBV, HCV, and HDV) are a major public health problem and lead to serious complications such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. We aimed to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-HCV, anti-HDV immunoglobulin G, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and dual and triple hepatitis virus infections in Mongolia.
Methods: A total of 2313 participants from urban and rural regions were randomly recruited for this cross-sectional study.
Many Mongolian people suffer from non-communicable chronic diseases.

This is the first nationwide large-scale cohort study of chronic diseases.
