Official title

Screening for Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Factors: a Community Health Screening Program in Urban Cameroon

Overview

Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) are a major public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa, including Cameroon. Studies have shown a significant increase in the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity in recent years. However, access to timely diagnosis and treatment remains limited, particularly in rural areas. Community-based screening programs have been shown to be effective in identifying individuals with undiagnosed CMD risk factors and promoting early intervention. By leveraging the strengths of community-based approaches, the URBACAM-D study aims to address the growing burden of CMDs in urban Cameroon.
