TL;DR: More research is needed to better capture the interplay between prediabetes/diabetes and ART in HIV-infected patients, considering the increasing number of ART-exposed patients subsequent to the World Health Organization’s recommendation of initiating ART at HIV infection diagnosis regardless of CD4 count and age.

TL;DR: Although the prevalence of lymphatic filariasis infection has declined since 2000, MDA is still necessary across large populations in Africa and Asia, and these mapped estimates can be used to identify areas where the probability of meeting infection thresholds is low, and to indicate additional data collection or intervention might be warranted before MDA programmes cease.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provided global, regional, and national estimates of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents to support the development of evidence-based prevention strategies. But, they did not provide a global estimate of the number of individuals living with metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: The investigation and management of patients with medium-to-high cardiovascular risk remains largely unavailable and unaffordable in this setting, and an effective non-communicable disease program should lay emphasis on primary prevention, and improve affordable access to essential medicines in public outlets.

TL;DR: The prevalence of hypertension is high in urban areas of Cameroon, with very low awareness, and prevention and control strategies should emphasize on improvement and vulgarization of population opportunistic screening and education.
