Issue Date: | Dec-2020 | Date: | 2020-11-08 | Publication information: | American Journal of Preventive Cardiology 2020; 4: 100096 | Abstract: | With the global spread of abdominal obesity, cardiovascular disease continues to spread to all countries of the world. Given the large population, the challenges presented by cardiometabolic risk in the Asia Pacific region are considerable. In addition to the clinical consequences of cardiovascular disease, in terms of its morbidity and mortality, the diversity of the Asia Pacific region brings heterogeneity in approaches to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiometabolic risk. In this manuscript, we will review the current state of knowledge of cardiometabolic risk in Asia Pacific and highlight the needs moving forward to tackle this public health challenge. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/27107 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ajpc.2020.100096 | Journal: | American Journal of Preventive Cardiology | PubMed URL: | 34327472 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Asia pacific Cardiovascular disease Diabetes Dyslipidemia Hypertension Risk factors |
