Data Analysis:
 Chi-square test will be done to examine the association of sociodemographic and
lifestyle factors with CVD.
 The logistic regression model will be used to explore the potential
sociodemographic and lifestyle risk factors for CVD

Ethical approval:
 Permission to conduct the survey will be taken from the Institutional Review
Board of North South University.
 EXPOSURE MEASURES

 Wealth index based on factor analysis of household-level socioeconomic variables.

 BMI calculation as weight in kg/height in meter 2

 Physical activity measurement through the questionnaire.
 Tiredness measurement using fatigue analogue scale.
 Extra salt intake measurement by asking questions.
 OUTCOME MEASURES

 The primary outcome variable is CVD, which qualified doctors have diagnosed.
