  • The war on Gaza and its impact on public health

    Open AccessDeema Al Bakri, Yousef Khader et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has created an unprecedented public health emergency, accompanied by the destruction of critical healthcare infrastructure, widespread shortages of essential resources, and the displacement of millions of the Gazan population. The escalation of conflict since October 2023 has severely strained Gaza’s already fragile health system. As a result, there has been an alarming increase in communicable diseases, ma…

  • Differences and agreement between two portable hand-held spirometers across diverse community-based populations in the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (Pure) study

    Open AccessMyLinh Duong, Sumathy Rangarajan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Introduction Portable spirometers are commonly used in longitudinal epidemiological studies to measure and track the forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV 1 ) and forced vital capacity (FVC). During the course of the study, it may be necessary to replace spirometers with a different model. This raise questions regarding the comparability of measurements from different devices. We examined the correlation, mean differences and agreement be…

  • Impact of social isolation on mortality and morbidity in 20 high-income, middle-income and low-income countries in five continents

    Open AccessRyo Naito, Darryl P Leong et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between social isolation and mortality and incident diseases in middle-aged adults in urban and rural communities from high-income, middle-income and low-income countries. DESIGN: Population-based prospective observational study. SETTING: Urban and rural communities in 20 high income, middle income and low income. PARTICIPANTS: 119 894 community-dwelling middle-aged adults. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Associations…

  • Modifiable risk factors, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in 155 722 individuals from 21 high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries (Pure)

  • Availability and affordability of medicines and cardiovascular outcomes in 21 high-income, middle-income and low-income countries

    Open AccessClara K Chow, Tu Ngoc Nguyen et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the relationship between access to medicine for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) among people at high risk of CVD in high-income countries (HICs), upper and lower middle-income countries (UMICs, LMICs) and low-income countries (LICs) participating in the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study. METHODS: We defined high CVD risk as the presence of any of the foll…

  • The household economic burden of non-communicable diseases in 18 countries

    Open AccessAdrianna Murphy, Benjamin Palafox et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally. In 2014, the United Nations committed to reducing premature mortality from NCDs, including by reducing the burden of healthcare costs. Since 2014, the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) Study has been collecting health expenditure data from households with NCDs in 18 countries. Methods: Using data from the PURE Study, we estimated risk of catastroph…

  • Socioeconomic status and risk of cardiovascular disease in 20 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries

    Open AccessAnnika Rosengren, Andrew Smyth et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2019

    Background Socioeconomic status is associated with differences in risk factors for cardiovascular disease incidence and outcomes, including mortality. However, it is unclear whether the associations between cardiovascular disease and common measures of socioeconomic status—wealth and education—differ among high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries, and, if so, why these differences exist. We explored the association between education a…

  • Cardiovascular risk status of Afro-origin populations across the spectrum of economic development

    Open AccessLara R Dugas, Terrence Forrester et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    These data provide a comprehensive estimate of cardiovascular risk across a range of countries at differing stages of social and economic development and demonstrate the heterogeneity in the character and degree of emerging cardiovascular risk. Severe hypercholesterolemia, as characteristic in the US and much of Western Europe at the onset of the coronary epidemic, is unlikely to be a feature of the cardiovascular risk profile in these countries …

  • Availability, affordability, and consumption of fruits and vegetables in 18 countries across income levels

    Open AccessVictoria Miller, Semir Yusuf et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Several international guidelines recommend the consumption of two servings of fruits and three servings of vegetables per day, but their intake is thought to be low worldwide. We aimed to determine the extent to which such low intake is related to availability and affordability. METHODS: We assessed fruit and vegetable consumption using data from country-specific, validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires in the Prospe…

  • Challenges to conducting epidemiology research in chronic conflict areas

    Open AccessRana Khatib, Rita Giacaman et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2016

    Little has been written on the challenges of conducting research in regions or countries with chronic conflict and strife. In this paper we share our experiences in conducting a population based study of chronic diseases in the occupied Palestinian territory and describe the challenges faced, some of which were unique to a conflict zone area, while others were common to low- and middle- income countries. After a short description of the situation…

  • Wealth and cardiovascular health

    Open AccessBenjamin Palafox, Martin Mckee et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2016

    Inequality in hypertension management outcomes decreased as countries became richer, but the considerable variation in patterns of wealth-related inequality - even among countries at similar levels of economic development - underscores the importance of health systems in improving hypertension management for all. These findings show that some, but not all, countries, including those with limited resources, have been able to achieve more equitable…

  • Health system challenges of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in four Eastern Mediterranean countries

    Open AccessPeter Phillimore, Shahaduz Zaman et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2013

    This paper presents evidence from research into health system challenges of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes in four Eastern Mediterranean countries: the occupied Palestinian territory, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey. We address two questions. How has the health system in each country been conceptualised and organised to manage the provision of care for those with CVD or diabetes? And what were key concerns about the institutional ability to …
