ABSTRACT
Due to the increasing non-communicable disease burden in Africa, several strategies that target the major lifestyle and physiological risk factors have been implemented to combat such diseases. The Healthy Aging Adult South Africa report card systematically reviews national and regional prevalence data of middle-aged South African adults (45-65 years) published between 2013 and 2020 on diet, physical activity, tobacco use and alcohol consumption, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus. Each indicator was assigned two grades, (1) based on the availability of prevalence data, and (2) based on whether policies have been proposed and implemented for the respective indicators. Alcohol consumption, obesity, hypertension and diabetes received an A grade for the availability of prevalence data. Tobacco use and diet received an A grade for policy and implementation. Gaps have been identified that need to be filled by future research focusing on continued surveillance of all indicators in order to inform and implement effective policies.
