TL;DR: This study aimed to implement and evaluate a CVD prevention program in a rural area of India and provide evidence about the effectiveness of a simple practical mechanism of CVD preventive care specifically designed for delivery in a resource-poor area in India.

TL;DR: This new methodology is a useful approach for estimating the added sugar content of products in countries where both added and total sugar information are not mandated on food labels and can be used to monitor added sugar levels and support interventions aimed at limiting added sugar intake.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors modeled the health impact of Australia's sodium reformulation targets and additional likely health gains if more ambitious, yet feasible sodium targets had been adopted instead, and estimated the averted deaths, incidence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and stomach cancer.

TL;DR: There is substantial variation across regions in reporting on functional health problems, which cannot be explained by differences in demographic variables, clinical risk factors, or rates of complications, and suggests that commonly used health status instruments may have important problems in comparability across settings.
