Risk Factors for Cardio-metabolic Disorders

Each chapter describes a risk factor, surveillance and HMIS status and issues, including differences across regions, and synthesizes the evidence on effectiveness of interventions.  Exemplary cost-effectiveness calculations from the literature would appear here for each RF or related RF cluster. They will be summarized in the economics chapters in Part IV of the volume.
