The WHO STEPS approach is divided into three main steps:
Step 1: Collection of demographic and behavioral data through questionnaires. This includes information on risk factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, diet, and physical activity. Step 2: Physical measurements, which include height, weight, and blood pressure, to assess biometric risk factors. Step 3: Biochemical measurements, such as blood glucose and cholesterol levels, to provide a more comprehensive assessment of an individual's health status.
