NCT ID NCT07676214
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study screens adults aged 18 and older in suburban and peri-urban areas of Faisalabad, Pakistan, for four major noncommunicable diseases: diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and high cholesterol. Participants who are found to have these conditions are referred to doctors for standard treatment and followed for three months. The goal is to see if community-based screening and referral can improve early diagnosis and disease management.
