摘要: In this paper, we examine patterns of self-reported diagnosis noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and prevalences algorithm/measured test-based, undiagnosed, untreated NCDs in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa. Nationally representative samples older adults aged ≥50 years were analyzed from wave 1 the World Health Organization's Study on Global Ageing Adult (2007-2010; n = 34,149). Analyses focused 6 conditions: angina, arthritis, asthma, chronic lung disease, depression, hypertension. Outcomes for these were: 1) 2) test-based 3) undiagnosed 4) disease. Algorithm/measured prevalence was much higher than all countries, indicating underestimation NCD low- middle-income countries. Undiagnosed highest hypertension, ranging 19.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 18.1, 21.3) India to 49.6% CI: 46.2, 53.0) The proportion among 69.5% 57.1, 81.9) Africa 93.2% 90.1, 95.7) India. Higher levels education wealth significantly reduced odds an condition morbidity. A high even highlights inadequacies management local health-care systems.
