The research results showed the characteristics of the respondents with diabetes mellitus (52,7%) and hypertension (25,2%). The overall incidence of central obesity was 75,8%. Bivariate analysis indicated a relationship between physical activity (p=0,008), sex (p=0,000), smoking habits (p=0,000), long illness of NCDs (p=0,049), and the incidence of central obesity, while there was no association between family history of NCDs (p=0,935), income (p=0,941), and central obesity.
