Four hundred twenty five participants were selected systematically and each participant was interviewed by using structured questionnaire and measured their blood pressure and blood glucose level with trained health extension workers. The collected data were entered in to SPSS version 25 for data analysis. Frequency distribution, bivariate and multivariate logistic analysis were conducted. P-value less 0.05 were considered to declare statistical significant association at 95% CI with the outcome variables. Most of the study participants, 403 (94.8%) were not ever smoke any type of cigarette in their life time. One hundred fifty nine (37.4%) of them were drunk alcohol in the life time. From the total participants, 70 (16.5%) of them were hypertensive and 36 (8.5%) of them had diabetes mellitus in the study area. Age, marital status, smoking and drinking alcohol were significantly associated with hypertension and occupation and drinking alcohol were factors associated with diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the study area was high. Age, smoking and drinking alcohol were significantly associated with hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
