The prevalence of coronary artery disease is dependent upon the presence of multiple risk factors. These risk factors specially the modifiable one, can be brought under control by life style modifications. World health organization has recommended a STEPs approach for the assessment of risk factors of coronary artery disease. It has two component, core and expanded. Objectives: There is paucity of data as far as expanded assessment is concerned. The present study was conducted with the objective to find out the prevalence of risk factors of coronary artery disease using WHO standardised STEPs approach including investigations specially fasting blood sugar and total cholesterol. Materials and Methods: The sample size was calculated by using the formula n = Z 2 pq/d 2 . For a two sided at 95% confidence interval, the value of Z/2 = 1.96, p is prevalence, q = 1 – p and d is relative precision. In present study the prevalence of hypertension was taken as 40% with 10% relative precision. The sample size came out to be 576. Results: Amongst modifiable risk factors, the high salt intake was found to be highest in 48.6% subjects followed by hypertension in 44.4% subjects. 25.2% subjects were having raised blood sugar. 37.7% were pre-obese while only 16.8% were obese. Only 5.4% subjects were having hypercholesterolemia as per WHO cut-off.
