Covers the report’s purpose and structure, summarizes prevalence patterns and major risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, obesity, elevated blood glucose, high blood pressure, and abnormal blood lipids. Includes an approach to forecasting the future health burden under different risk reduction scenarios and discussing implications for cost-effectiveness.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nNoncommunicable Diseases in Saudi Arabia  \nToward Effective Interventions for Prevention  \nAda Alqunaibet, Christopher H.
