The objective of this study is to investigate the trends of exposure and burden attributable to the four

main metabolic risk factors, including high systolic blood pressure (SBP), high fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high

body-mass index (BMI), and high low-density lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL) in North Africa and the Middle East from

1990 to 2019.
