Prevalence of Hypertension, Diabetes, High Total Cholesterol, Obesity and Daily Smoking
Ministry of Health (MOH) population health survey indicator on cardiometabolic risk and smoking among Singapore residents aged 18 to 69. The CSV applies clinical cut-offs for hypertension, diabetes, high total cholesterol, obesity, and daily smoking defined in the official metadata. Public health planners compare prevalence waves collected every six years from 1992 to 2017. Researchers use the series for chronic disease burden and prevention programme evaluation.
