Severe asthma is associated with high morbidity, mortality, and health care utilization, but its burden in Africa is unknown. This article wants to determine the burden (prevalence,
mortality, and ...
Asthma, hay fever and eczema are three common chronic conditions. There have been no recent multi-country data on the burden of these three conditions in adults; the aims ... this study are to fill this evidence gap.
The Global Asthma Network Phase I is a multi-country cross-sectional population-based study using the same core methodology as the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood Phase III. It provides data on the burden of asthma, hay fever and eczema in children and adolescents, and, for the first time, in their parents/guardians.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are major global public health concerns that cause nearly three-quarters of the ... of mortality worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes alone account for over eight out of ten NCD deaths. To alleviate this huge burden, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) aimed to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by one-third.
The NCD Alliance website provides information and resources on preventing and controlling non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory ...s, diabetes, and mental health conditions. The Alliance advocates for global health policies, supports countries in integrating NCD care into universal health coverage, and fosters collaboration among governments, civil society, and health organizations. Key sections include policy briefs, advocacy priorities, research reports, and campaigns aimed at reducing NCD-related health disparities and improving health outcomes worldwide. The site serves as a hub for NCD advocacy, awareness, and community engagement.

PAHO has developed a series of country profiles on diabetes that illustrate the growing burden of diabetes and diabetic kidney ... in countries in the Region of the Americas. The country profiles reveal that over the past 20 years, diabetes disability (excluding diabetic kidney disease) increased in all countries in the Region, in both men and women, while diabetic kidney disease increased in 31 of the countries. 33 countries analyzed.
Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis is, together with geohelminths, the neglected disease that causes more loss of years ... healthy life due to disability in Latin America. Chagas disease, as determined by the factors and determinants, shows that different contexts require different actions, preventing new cases or reducing the burden of disease. Control strategies must combine two general courses of action including prevention of transmission to prevent the occurrence of new cases (these measures are cost effective), as well as opportune diagnosis and treatment of infected individuals in order to prevent the clinical evolution of the disease and to allow them to recuperate their health. All actions should be implemented as fully as possible and with an integrated way, to maximise the impact. Chagas disease cannot be eradicated due because of the demonstrated existence of infected wild triatomines
in permanent contact with domestic cycles and it contributes to the occurrence of at least few new cases. However, it is possible to interrupt the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in a large territory and to eliminate Chagas disease
as a public health problem with a dramatic reduction of burden of the disease.

The article provides a systematic analysis estimating the prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) across Africa. It highlights the significant health ... COPD imposes on the continent, emphasizing varying prevalence rates influenced by factors such as tobacco smoking, exposure to biomass fuel, and occupational hazards. The analysis reveals substantial gaps in data and disparities in COPD diagnosis and management across different African countries. The authors call for more comprehensive data collection, increased awareness, and better healthcare infrastructure to effectively address and manage COPD in Africa.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a substantial threat to many health systems, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) where they are already overstretched. In the past few decades, deaths from NCDs in LMICs have spiked, whe...

The report "Assessing National Capacity for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases" provides an overview of the capacities ... countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region to address noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) based on a 2019 survey. It evaluates the progress of 22 countries in areas such as governance, policy implementation, health infrastructure, data collection, and healthcare resources for NCD prevention. The report highlights achievements and gaps, emphasizing the need for strengthened health systems, surveillance, and cross-sectoral collaboration to meet the WHO's global NCD targets. The findings guide further actions to reduce the burden of NCDs in the region.
Asthma is a serious global health problem affecting all age groups. Its prevalence is increasing in many countries, espacially among children. Although some countries have seen a decline in hospitalizations and deaths from asthma, asthma still impos...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents an increasing burden throughout the world. COPD-related mortality is probably underestimated because ... the difficulties associated with identifying the precise cause of death. Respiratory failure is considered the major cause of death in advanced COPD. Comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and lung cancer are also major causes and, in mild-to-moderate COPD, are the leading causes of mortality.
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common noncommunicable diseases worldwide. In the Eastern Mediterranean Region there has been a rapid increase in the incidence ... diabetes mellitus and it is now the fourth leading cause of death. The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus, the emergence of diabetes complications as a cause of early morbidity and mortality, and the enormous and mounting burden on health care systems make diabetes a priority health concern. These guidelines provide up-to-date, reliable and balanced information for the prevention and care of diabetes mellitus in the Region. The information is evidence-based and clearly stated to facilitate the use of the guidelines in daily practice. They are intended to benefit physicians at primary, secondary and tertiary level, general practitioners, internists and family medicine specialists, clinical dieticians and nurses as well as policy-makers at ministries of health. They provide the information necessary for decision-making by health care providers and patients themselves about disease management in the most commonly encountered situations.
