Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
2. To examine the relationship between societal determinants and incidence of chronic noncommunicable disease events (e.g. cardiovascular disease, cancer) and on changes in rates of selected risk factors (e.g. smoking)
3. To examine the relationship between health related behaviors (e.g. diet, physical activity, smoking, alcohol) and health outcomes (e.g. death, non-communicable diseases)
4. The quality of health systems across a diverse range of health resource settings, and how this impacts health outcomes
5. Genetic factors for non-communicable diseases
