Prevalence of Self-Reported Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases among Adults in Addis Health and Demographic Surveillance System (Addis-HDSS), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a global health challenge, causing millions of deaths annually and contributing significantly to the global disease burden. Despite their prevalence in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), NCDs receive limited global health financing. Ethiopia, like other LMICs, is experiencing a rising burden of NCDs. This study aimed to assess the self-reported prevalence of chronic NCDs and identify associated sociodemographic factors. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Addis Health Demographic Surveillance System (Addis-HDSS) site in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. All adults (≥18 years) living in the Addis-HDSS sites were included. Data were collected using a structured electronic questionnaire on self-reported NCDs and sociodemographic variables. Binomial regression model was used to identify sociodemographic factors associated with self-reported NCDs. Results: Overall, 11.5% (95% CI: 11.3%-11.7%) of adults reported at least one NCD. The most prevalent conditions were hypertension (5.9%; 95% CI: 5.7%-6.1%) and diabetes mellitus (3.4%; 95% CI: 3.3%-3.5%). Older age (Adjusted Incidence Rate Ratio (AIRR): 5.47; 95% CI: 5.17-5.79), no formal education (AIRR: 1.58; 95% CI: 1.45-1.72), being formerly married (AIRR: 2.68; 95% CI: 2.47-2.91), and higher wealth quintiles (AOR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.07-1.26) were statistically significant risk factors associated with NCDs. Conclusion: This study highlights the high burden of chronic NCDs among adults in Addis Ababa. The findings highlight the importance of addressing NCDs as a significant public health challenge. Expanding access to early prevention, diagnosis, and care is critical in urban settings.
