BACKGROUND: Although @entity65 is a crucial problem for Mongolian @entity1 , little information about @entity209 , which is well known to be associated with the development of @entity65 , is available in Mongolia. The aim of this study was to observe the epidemiological features of @entity209 in a general Mongolian population. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed in 1911 general Mongolian subjects (717 @entity1 , 1194 @entity1 ), who were >= 40 years old and free of @entity741 , by using a dataset from a nationwide population-based cohort study in Mongolia. The prevalence of @entity209 , as defined by International @entity6 Federation criteria, was determined. @entity285 consumption, smoking habits, and physical activity were evaluated. Education, marital status, income, and occupation were also examined as factors of socioeconomic status (SES). Their association with @entity209 was determined by logistic regression models. RESULTS: The prevalence of @entity209 was significantly higher in @entity1 (n=488, 40.6%) than in @entity1 (n=138, 19.4%). The prevalence of @entity209 was high, especially in the Khangai region, in @entity1 . Moderate-to-high @entity285 consumption was a significantly positively associated factor of @entity209 in @entity1 [odds ratio (OR)=2.01; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15-3.51; adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.41; 95% CI 1.31-4.44] and widowed status was a significantly positively associated factor of @entity209 in @entity1 (OR=1.61, 95% CI 1.18-2.18; AOR=1.49, 95% CI 1.07-2.08). CONCLUSIONS: @entity209 was prevalent in @entity1 compared with @entity1 among Mongolian adults. Preventive strategies aimed at @entity1 with a higher @entity285 consumption and @entity1 with widowed status may help reduce @entity209 , thereby improving @entity65 conditions in Mongolia.
