*The numerator includes people with raised blood pressure and those who were under treatment (self-reported) for hypertension.
†The numerator includes people with raised FBG values and those who were under treatment (self-reported) for diabetes.
FBG, fasting blood glucose; MET, metabolic equivalent; NCD, non-communicable disease.
