Cohort profile: the BangladEsh Longitudinal Investigation of Emerging Vascular and nonvascular Events (BELIEVE) cohort study.
BMJ Open
January 2025
British Heart Foundation Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Purpose: Bangladesh has experienced a rapid epidemiological transition from communicable to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in recent decades. There is, however, limited evidence about multidimensional determinants of NCDs in this population. The BangladEsh Longitudinal Investigation of Emerging Vascular and nonvascular Events (BELIEVE) study is a household-based prospective cohort study established to investigate biological, behavioural, environmental and broader determinants of NCDs.

Background: South Asians may be particularly susceptible to premature myocardial infarction (MI) owing both to conventional cardiovascular risk factors and practices distinctive to South Asia. Identifying modifiable risk factors for MI in these populations could inform prevention strategies. We have, therefore, studied conventional risk factors and other characteristics in relation to occurrence of first MI in Bangladesh.

Since the early 2000s, malaria cases in Cambodia have declined steadily. Village malaria workers (VMWs) have played a critical role in reducing malaria transmission and progress towards malaria elimination. To prevent malaria re-establishment, however, implementation strategies need to consider carefully the changing healthcare needs in the communities as well as challenges to, and opportunities for, programme adaptation.

Article Synopsis
- Chagas disease (CD) is a growing global health concern, particularly among Latin American migrants in non-endemic countries, prompting a systematic review to determine its prevalence in this population.* -
- Out of 1474 articles screened, 51 studies were included, indicating a pooled CD prevalence of 3.5% among Latin American migrants, with higher rates in specific subgroups such as unselected populations (11.0%) and pregnant women (3.7%).* -
- The research highlights the importance of screening among Latin American migrants and reveals significant levels of congenital transmission at 4.4%, emphasizing the need for public health strategies in non-endemic regions.*
Opportunities and challenges for the integration of managing non-communicable diseases within HIV care and treatment services in Tanzania.
HIV Res Clin Pract

School of Public Health and Social Services, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Background: People living with HIV and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are reported to experience challenges in accessing affordable and high-quality NCD care services. Consequently, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends care integration of NCDs within the HIV services in resource-limited regions. The available opportunities and challenges need to be understood and addressed for an effective integration process.
