Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and knowledge of NCD risk factors is an important element in the prevention and management of NCDs. This study aimed to analyze the level of knowledge about non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors in various populations globally. This study was a literature review collected from several databases and search engines namely PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria included quantitative research articles in English or Indonesian, published between 2014-2024, and focusing on NCD risk factors. Of the 261 articles detected, 13 were selected after screening for duplication, screening, and appropriateness to the study objectives. The results showed that the majority of public knowledge regarding NCD risk factors was poor. Of the 13 articles, 9 of them stated the results of poor knowledge levels especially in rural populations, slum areas, and populations with limited access to information. The other four articles showed good knowledge levels in urban populations and populations with better access to knowledge. These results are influenced by several factors: access to health information, education level, social stigma, and cultural perceptions. The conclusion of this study is that community knowledge related to NCD risk factors is still low, so strategic interventions are needed to improve health literacy as an effort to prevent NCDs
