INTRODUCTION: By 2030, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are expected to overtake all other causes of death in Africa. The prevalence of NCDs and related risk factors are influenced by gender and socioeconomic disparities.
AIM: Thus, this study aimed to determine the impact of socio-economic and demographic factors on non-communicable diseases in Morocco.
METHODS: Cross-sectional data were analysed from 4766 adults who participated in the 2017 STEPS survey in Morocco. Data collection included assessment of behavioural and biochemical risk factors. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Chi-square and the Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed.
RESULTS: There was a significant difference between genders in NCDs. Men had higher rates of tobacco and alcohol use (21.2%, 13.9%, respectively, with a p <0.001)), while women had higher obesity prevalence (31.2% (p <0.001)). Individuals with no formal education showed the highest prevalence of hypertension (38.9%), diabetes (10.1%), and obesity (27.9%) compared to those having primary education or more. Adults aged 70 years or older showed higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes than the other age groups.
CONCLUSION: Morocco has a high prevalence of NCDs. The incidence of NCDs is significantly associated with sociodemographic and behavioral factors. A multisectoral and integrated strategy, focusing on sociodemographic and behavioral factors is necessary to prevent and control NCDs.
