Do community-based interventions reduce cardiovascular risk factors in low- and middle-income countries?
Do community-based interventions reduce cardiovascular risk factors in low- and middle-income countries?
Community-based interventions focusing on education, provider training, and guidelines are effective for cardiovascular risk reduction in LMIC, though currently limited to urban poor populations.
There have been effective community-based programmes aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk factors in LMIC but these have generally been limited to the urban poor. Health education with a focus on diet and salt, training of health care providers and implementing treatment guidelines form key elements in successful programmes.
