Risk factors include older age, overweight or obesity, lack of physical activity, high salt/sodium intake, and h...igh alcohol intake.
Hypertension affects around 1 in 6 adults in the Americas and is the main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death in the region, responsible for around 2 million lives lost each year.

This study... investigated the implementation of TIKA scheme in urban districts of Tanzania.

обеспечить возможности быстрого развертывания сил и средств для оказания неотложной помощи и
интенсивного лечения больных COVID-19 при сохранении основных видов больничных услуг.

The great majority of service disrup...tions were partial, which was defined as a change of 5–50% in service provision or use.

This report quantifies the additional COVID-19 healthcare waste generated, describes current healthcare waste management syst...ems and their deficiencies, and summarizes emerging best practices and solutions to reduce the impact of waste on human and environmental health.  The recommendations included in the report build on actions in the WHO manifesto for a healthy recovery from COVID-19: prescriptions and actionables for a healthy and green recovery. They target the global, national and facility levels to promote a “win–win” scenario for COVID-19 PPE use, testing and vaccinations that are safe and support environmental sustainability.
