Article Synopsis
- Southeast Asia is experiencing an epidemiological shift where non-communicable diseases are becoming more significant, but infectious diseases still persist alongside emerging health threats, complicating data-driven policy-making for health interventions.
- A systematic review identified 542 relevant studies involving cross-sectional surveys from 2010 to 2021 across Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand, highlighting the prevalence of various health conditions within these communities.
- Non-communicable diseases were reported more frequently in the surveys than infectious diseases; however, there was a noticeable lack of studies focusing on holistic health measures, highlighting key health issues that align with prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality in the region.
