TL;DR: Taking into account the UN Sustainable Development Goals, this study recommends that national governments develop targeted policy responses to Indigenous health, improving access to health services, and Indigenous data within national surveillance systems.

TL;DR: The prevalence of obesity at varying altitudes of 1,200, 2,900 and 3,700 meters above sea-level in Tibet and Nepal and the effect of altitude on body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were determined.

TL;DR: A high prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia in males, a higher prevalence of low HDL-C in females, and a high hypercholesterolemia prevalence in both genders are demonstrated, however, further longitudinal studies assessing CHD risk factors in high altitude natives are required.

TL;DR: The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome in high altitude farmers and herdsmen in Tibet was lower compared to other high altitude natives, while its components (hyperglycemia, obesity, and high blood pressure) were higher than in otherHigh altitude communities.

TL;DR: The shortage of health professionals and EOC centers and health information in predominantly remote rural areas with a scattered population still needs to be rectified.
