WHO Global InfoBase

The WHO Global InfoBase has, for the first time, assembled in one place, country level risk factor data stratified by age and sex, with complete source and survey information. The current version of the InfoBase contains over 45,000 data points from more than 2,000 sources. The NCD InfoBase contains data for 170 out of 192 WHO Member States. A unique feature is that each record can be linked back to all its survey information, including the primary source. This is important when the collection of such data involves so many different protocols and definitions.  Click here
