*Variables from a previous round (R22) of the GPC where total number of participants may vary: Urbanicity (n=4,622), SES (n=4,077), Blood Pressure (BP) (n=4,184), Hepatitis B (n=4,173), Hepatitis C (n=4,172), smoking status (n=4,183), alcohol consumption in the last 30 days (n=3,815), and anaemia (n=3,139). 1Urbanicity score derived from Riha et al. (2014). 2Socio-economic Score (SES) derived from conducting Principle Component Analysis (PCA) on a statistical software using variables relating to household infrastructure and property ownership 3Body Mass Index (BMI) Classification according to WHO (weight/height 2: kg/m 2): Underweight (<18.5 kg/m 2), Normal weight (18.5–24.99 kg/m 2), Overweight (25.0–29.99 kg/m 2), Obese (>30.0 kg/m 2). 4BP classification derived from the National Institute of Health guidelines: Pre-Hypertension was defined as having a systolic BP >120 mmHg but <140 mmHg, and a diastolic BP >80 mmHg but <90 mmHg. Hypertension was defined as having a systolic BP ≥90 mmHg, diastolic BP ≥140 mmHg. 5Anaemia was defined as having haemogloblin levels less than 130 g/L in men, 120 g/L in non-pregnant women, and 110 g/L in pregnant women. Only 2,064 individuals had anaemia results from the R24 of the GPC 6Diabetes was defined as having HbA1C >6.5%, or being previously diagnosed with diabetes, or are currently on treatment for diabetes. **Variables in R24 with missing individuals: Currently Married (n=4,661), BMI (n=5,814), HIV (n=5,970)
