Because the interconnection between communicable and non-communicable diseases is there.
The results highlight new challenges posed by diseases of infectious origin in migrants and call attention to the link between communicable and non-communicable diseases.
This study suggests and highlights new challenges posed by diseases of infectious origin in migrants and calls attention to the link between communicable and non-communicable diseases.
Thus classification between communicable and non-communicable diseases was based on the responses to simplified questions and probably introduced some misclassification bias.
HIV may also increase the risk of heart diseases such as cardiomyopathy (52) and cancers (53) providing one illustration of the links between communicable and non-communicable diseases.
As shown in table 2, the balance of the burden between communicable and non-communicable diseases varies greatly by income group classification (these data reflecting the situation worldwide, not just in Latin America).
This does not, however, preclude the use of other therapeutic interventions that address the greater, more complex risk presentation of cases that fall in the 'crossover' between communicable and non-communicable diseases.
The relationship between blood pressure level and mortality in HIV+ patients may have important policy implications as HIV+ individuals age and programs in SSA expand their scope to address the important overlap between communicable and non-communicable diseases [ 13].
By comparison with a previous study [ 20], there appears a higher occurrence of non communicable disease, indicating the increasing double burden of communicable and non communicable diseases.
There is an increase in the simultaneous incidence of communicable and non communicable diseases in many patients.
We argue that the continuing rise of chronic infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases usually occurs in a context of uninterrupted interactions between and among communicable and non-communicable diseases across the life course of individuals and communities in developing countries.
