Iran to achieve the SDG 3.4 at national and sub-national levels.

ABSTRACT: The present study investigates different scenarios to project the chance of achieving SDG 3.4 in Iran. In this study, the Iranian Death Registry System data was employed to estimate the Unconditional Probability of Dying (UPoD) for the four major categories of NCDs; then, the Bayesian model averaging was used to project the UPoD at the national and sub-national levels. Also, the prevalence of the risk factors was projected by 2030 based on STEPs as well as some other study data. Plus, UPoD and the possibility of achieving the target were estimated once again based on the assumption that the global reduction in risk factors proposed by WHO would be adopted in Iran. The UPoDs for the four NCDs in Iran were 17.5% (95% UI: 16.3-19.2) and 14.7% (13.3-16.2) in 2010 and 2015 respectively and if t
