Reducing the global prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors: a bet worth winning

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The prevalence of potentially preventable and reversible cardiometabolic risk factors continues to increase in many countries around the world. The importance of this has been emphasised once again by the Investigators of the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD), in the article published in this issue of Metabolism, showing that metabolic diseases continue to pose significant health challenges, although there are important differences in health burdens that have occurred over the last 30 years [1]. Overall, this analysis underscores the necessity for a coordinated global health initiative to stem the tide of these debilitating diseases and improve population health outcomes worldwide [1].
