Worldwide non-communicable diseases (NCDs) represent 43% of the burden of disease. By 2020, this burden is expected to rise to 60%, and NCDs will be responsible for 73% of deaths. Most of this increase will be accounted for by emerging non-communicable disease epidemics in developing countries. The Sudan STEPwise survey (SSWS) December 2016 is the first nationally representative survey to collect comprehensive information on risk factors for NCDs and oral health in Sudanese adults aged 18-69 years.The survey was conducted jointly by the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), World Health Organization (WHO) and Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), and covered eleven states from the six geographical regions: North, East, Khartoum State, Kordofan, and Darfur. A four-stage stratified cluster sampling design was implemented, resulting in a total sample of 8,154 households and individuals from 302 clusters. The data collection followed the WHO STEPwise Survey Manual, which recommends three steps; STEP 1 behavioural risk factors, STEP 2 anthropometric and physical measurements, and STEP 3 biochemical measurements. All results were weighted by gender and age. The response rate in this survey was high, 95% in STEPS 1/2 and 88% in STEP 3. The ssws goal is to provide baseline indicators on determinants of NCDs and their risk factors among Sudanese adults.
