%X <b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Introduction</span></b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">: The prevalence of Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has increased so
it¡¯s becoming a global public health problem. This problem is also threatening
in Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) country including Ivory Coast. Ivory Coast is a
country of 22.6 million people experiencing rapid economic development and
social change. All development is typically associated with </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">an increase in non-communicable disease (NCD) risk
factors. Our study</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> aimed to determine the prevalence and associated
factors of the major risk factors of NCDs among the population of Cocody, Abobo
and Yocobou¨¦ in the Ivory Coast. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Methods</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">: A descriptive and analytical
cross-sectional study was conducted and involved 1146 adults of 19 to 60 years
from general population in Cocody (urban), Abob (peri-urban) and Yocobou¨¦
(rural). The WHO STEPS risk </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">factor survey
has been changed a bit and was administered. it contains anthropometric and
biochemical measures</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">: The prevalence of NCD risk factors
was markedly different across the three sites particularly between urban
(Cocody) and rural (Yocobou¨¦) areas. The overall prevalence estimates of the
risk factors were 15.2% for current smoking, 57.71% for harmful use of alcohol,
58.84% for low physical activity, 24.71% for sedentariness (sitting at least 7
h), 69.45% for skipping breakfast, 61% for having late dinner and 36% for
snacking. Concerning biological risk factor we noticed 40.95% for Overweight/obesity,
52.96% for abdominal obesity, 14.61% for raised blood pressure, 23.37% for
raised blood sugar and 18.51 low HDL-C. Being female has an important associated
with an increased risk for having abdominal obesity (OR: 25.7) and being
overweight or obese (OR: 11.3), suffering from hypertension increased with age,
30 - 39 years (OR 8.45), 40 - 49 years (OR 13.4) and 50 years and above (OR
24.6). </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusion</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">: Adult residents in the two </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(Urban and peri-urban) of three different areas are developing high-risk </span><span
