Article Synopsis
- Chronic diseases are widely prevalent in urban slums, posing challenges for social and economic growth, particularly in Egypt's Giza governorate, where a study surveyed 3,500 residents.
- The research aimed to identify social determinants affecting chronic disease prevalence, focusing on adults (over 22% reported chronic diseases) while excluding children from the analysis.
- Findings revealed that low socio-economic status is closely linked to higher rates of chronic diseases, highlighting the need for policies targeted at improving healthcare and living conditions in these vulnerable communities.
