In 2021-2022, Agence Sanitaire et Sociale Nouvelle Calédonie (ASSNC) is undertaking the "Baromètre Santé Adulte" for the third time. This study is carried out this year in collaboration with WHO and Institut Pasteur de Nouvelle Calédonie (IPNC). The main objective of this investigation is to describe the current levels of chronic disease risk factors in the adult population of New Caledonia aged from 18 to 64 years old. This study will also help to estimate prevalence of certain diseases (diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, renal failure), seroprevalence of arboviruses (dengue fever, Zika, chikungunya and Ross River) malaria as well as the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2. Repeated regularly, these surveys allow the ASS-NC to capitalize on population indicators, to compare them according to socio-demographic characteristics, to identify groups at risk, to provide changes in health behaviors and to strengthen analytical capacities in order to adapt the guidelines for public policies and prevention programs.
