Cardiovascular disease risk profile and management practices in 45 low-income and middle-income countries: A cross-sectional study of nationally representative individual-level survey data. PLOS Medicine, 18(3), e1003485. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1003485http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/5750Global cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden is high and rising, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Focussing on 45 LMICs, we aimed to determine (1) the adult population’s median 10-year predicted CVD risk, including its variation within countries by socio-demographic characteristics, and (2) the prevalence of self-reported blood pressure (BP) medication use among those with and without an indication for such medication as per World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesType of access: Open AccessCardiovascular diseaseArticle
