Article Synopsis
- The WHO STEPwise approach to NCD risk factor surveillance (STEPS) in Iran has been conducted since 2005, with the latest round in 2016 assessing population characteristics and diabetes prevalence among subjects aged 25 and older.
- The 2016 results indicated that approximately 10.6% of the population had diabetes, with a notable portion (2.7%) unaware of their condition, while around 15.2 million individuals were identified as having prediabetes.
- The study also found that more than half of self-reported diabetes patients were under good glycemic control, but a significant percentage experienced poor diabetes management, highlighting a growing public health concern in Iran.
