Research priorities for cardiometabolic syndrome in humanitarian settings: A global consensus-based agenda.

ABSTRACT: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. The burden of NCDs largely falls on low- and middle- income countries, where the majority of humanitarian crises fall. Already fragile health care systems in acute and protracted crisis settings struggle to meet the increasing needs of people living with NCDs. Cardio-Metabolic Syndrome (CMS), in particular, is of growing concern, with little evidence on effectively managing cardiovascular disease care in emergency settings.
