Hypertension prevention: In need of a grain of salt knowledge

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are further deteriorating the health of populations in low-income settings, while those populations are still struggling with a substantial burden of infectious diseases.1,2 Therefore, research aimed at elucidating factors driving NCDs and identifying potential approaches to addressing the NCD burden in these regions is desperately needed. In a collaborative effort between Ugandan investigators and US researchers from Case Western and the University of Kentucky, Kaddumukasa et al.3 report important findings that may offer critical insights into the development of effective interventions for preventing hypertension and its associated adverse outcomes in Africa.
