The aim of this study was to determine the factors associated with mortality from NCDs among persons aged 15 years and above in Zambia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study used data from Sample Vital Registration with Verbal Autopsy (SAVVY) 2015\/16 (Zambia). A total of 3529 Verbal Autopsy were completed in the study, with only 2599 of death where among people aged 15 years and above. Three-level data analysis was applied; univariate analysis, bivariate analysis, and multivariate analysis (binary logistic regression).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall number of deaths from NCDs was 28.81%. Stratified analysis by gender showed that deaths from NCDs were higher among women (32.60%) as compared to men (26.25%). Among all persons, dying from NCDs was associated with tobacco use, age, and education. Tobacco use was negatively associated with mortality from NCDs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]\u2009=\u20090.68; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.48\u20130.98). Age was positively associated with the odds of dying from NCDs among persons aged 45\u201359 years (aOR\u2009=\u20093.87, 95% CI: 2.13\u20137.01), 60\u201374 years (aOR\u2009=\u200912.05, 95% CI: 6.44\u201322.55), and 75\u2009+\u2009years (aOR\u2009=\u200915.16, 95% CI: 7.93\u201328.97). The likelihood of dying from NCDs was higher among persons with secondary education as compared to those with no education (aOR\u2009=\u20091.93, 95% CI: 1.11\u20133.33).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings from this study suggest that public health interventions targeting NCDs need to consider behavioural factors, especially tobacco use which exposes people to second-hand smoke.
