The SuRF Report 2: Surveillance of chronic disease Risk Factors:

This report is the second in the Surveillance of Risk Factors Report Series. SuRF2 updates the Country Profiles provided by SuRF1 in 2003. SuRF2 also presents, for the first time, comparable country-level estimates for raised blood pressure, obesity, and overweight.
The focus of the Country Profiles is recent, nationally representative risk factor data. The risk factors included in this report are those that make the greatest contribution to mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular disease, can be changed through primary intervention, and are easily measured in populations. These risk factors are:

  • tobacco and alcohol use
  • patterns of physical inactivity
  • low fruit/vegetable intake
  • overweight/obesity
  • blood pressure
  • cholesterol
  • diabetes
