Cardiovascular disease risk factors distribution and clustering across different geographic levels in Nepal.

Background: In an effort to reduce the burgeoning problem of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), it is imperative to understand the variation of risk factors across different geographic regions. This study aims to shed light on examining the leading risk factors of CVD and it's clustering across Nepal.

Methods: Data from a nationally representative survey were analyzed to estimate the distribution of four major risk factors (high blood pressure, overweight, obesity, and smoking) of cardiovascular diseases.
