Urbanization exacerbates age-associated declines in cardiometabolic health in Turkana and Orang Asli

Abstract excerpt

Declines in cardiometabolic health among older individuals are so ubiquitous in Western, high-income countries that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease have been termed “diseases of aging”. In contrast, research from non-industrial contexts has found low rates of cardiometabolic NCDs in old age, suggesting protective effects of lifestyle. To test if indus...
