Hypertension is associated with increased mortality in patients with tuberculosis in Guinea-Bissau
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major health problem in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In 2019, WHO estimated that there were 10 million new cases of TB, and 1.4 million deaths due to TB worldwide (World Health Organization, 2020). At the same time, LMICs face a rapid increase in the burden of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary heart disease and stroke. More than 75% of cardiovascular deaths occur in LMICs (World Health Organization, 2014).

Measuring Global Alcohol Health Literacy: A Narrative Review
CONCLUSIONS: The current state of the research literature makes it impossible to identify patterns of alcohol health literacy globally or even to compare intra-country studies across time. We recommend that a database of standard, validated questions for assessing knowledge about the relationship between alcohol and several key health outcomes be assembled and made available to the research community.PMID:34100699
