proportion of alcohol use in females was negligible. Close to one-third of the men (31.9%) in the age group of 15-49 years are obese,
higher than female prevalence (24.2%). A higher proportion of males (25.2%) have raised blood pressure than females (17.7%). The
prevalence of raised blood glucose is 13.8% in women and 15.4% in men.
