Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To examine the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among women of reproductive age in Kenya, highlighting the prevalence and risk factors.
METHODS: Cross-sectional design based on the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey.
METHODS: Kenya.
METHODS: Predict the burden of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, arthritis, depression, anxiety, breast and cervical cancer.
RESULTS: Overall, 15.9% of Kenyan women aged 15-49 years were living with at least one NCD. The most prevalent NCD among this cohort was hypertension (8.7%) followed by arthritis (2.9%) and depression (2.8%). Our findings revealed that increasing age, increasing wealth, being married or formerly married, being overweight or obese, consuming alcohol and some occupations were risk factors of NCDs among women of reproductive age in Kenya.
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that hypertension is the most prevalent NCD among women of reproductive age in Kenya. The findings underscore the multifaceted nature of NCD risk factors in Kenya, emphasising the importance of targeted interventions that consider age, economic status, education, marital status, occupation and lifestyle factors.

摘要：
目的：研究肯尼亚育龄妇女的非传染性疾病负担，强调患病率和危险因素。
方法：基于2022年肯尼亚人口与健康调查的横截面设计。
方法：肯尼亚。
方法：预测高血压的负担，糖尿病,心脏病,肺部疾病,关节炎,抑郁症,焦虑,乳腺癌和宫颈癌。
结果：总体而言，15-49岁的肯尼亚妇女中有15.9%患有至少一种非传染性疾病。该队列中最普遍的NCD是高血压（8.7％），其次是关节炎（2.9％）和抑郁症（2.8％）。我们的发现表明，年龄的增长，增加财富,已婚或以前已婚，超重或肥胖，在肯尼亚，饮酒和某些职业是育龄妇女非传染性疾病的危险因素。
结论：我们得出结论，高血压是肯尼亚育龄妇女中最普遍的非传染性疾病。调查结果强调了肯尼亚非传染性疾病危险因素的多面性，强调考虑年龄的针对性干预措施的重要性，经济地位,教育,婚姻状况,职业和生活方式因素。
