Abstract
Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) were the leading causes of death in Indonesia. According to the 2018 data from WHO – NCD Country Profile, the proportional mortality in Indonesia were cardiovascular diseases (35%), cancers (12%), chronic respiratory diseases (6%), diabetes mellitus (DM) (6%), injuries (6%), other NCDs (15%), and communicable maternal, perinatal, and nutritional conditions (21%). The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of NCDs of each province in Indonesia and physical inactivity as a risk factor of NCDs. It was descriptive study based on Basic Health Research 2013 and 2018. Data 2018 revealed that most of NCDs such as stroke, cancer, and DM increased from 2013. The proportion of physical inactivity in Indonesia increased from 26.1% in 2013 to 33.5% in 2018. Perhaps there was association between physical inactivity and the incidence of NCDs. Further study was needed to analyze the risk factors associated with NCDs.
