Prevalence and correlates of self-reported chronic non-communicable diseases in Botswana: a cross-sectional study
Conclusions
It is evident that chronic non-communicable diseases are likely to increase in the future due to the rise in the old age population resulting from fertility transition and improvement in life expectancy in Botswana. Therefore urgent and holistic intervention programmes are required to halt the problem. Failure to act now is likely to result in high morbidity and mortality.
