BACKGROUND Despite the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCD) in Vietnam, information on the prevalence of preventable risk factors for NCD is restricted to the main urban centres of Ha Noi, and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). This population-based survey aimed to describe the prevalence of risk factors for NCD in a rural Vietnamese sample. METHODS This survey was conducted using the W...

Our objective was to quantify patient payments to obtain NCD screening, diagnosis, and treatment services in the public and private sector in Kenya and evaluate patients' ability to pay for the services. METHODS AND FINDIN...

It is important to quantify the risks associated with CKD on such disease outcomes in individu...

We sought to compare self-reported diagnoses versus standardised measures ...
