The STEPS survey of chronic disease (non communicable diseases) risk factors in Nepal was carried out from July 2012 to June 2013. Nepal carried out STEPS I, II and III: Socio demographic and behavioural information was collected in STEP I; physical measurements such as height, weight and blood pressure were collected in STEP II; and biochemical measurements were collected to assess blood glucose and cholesterol levels in STEP III. The STEPS survey in Nepal was a population-based survey of adults aged 15–69 years. A multistage sample design was used to produce representative data for that age range in Nepal. A total of 4,143 adults participated in the Nepal STEPS survey. The overall response rate was 98.6% for STEP I, 98.3% for STEP II and 89.8% for STEP III. A repeat survey is planned for 2017/18.
