Links Between the Epidemiology and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases and Neglected Tropical Diseases in Asia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Neglected Tropical Diseases - East Asia

Part of the book series: Neglected Tropical Diseases ((NTD))

Abstract

The Southeast Asian region is undergoing an epidemiological transition with a double burden of communicable and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). The region accounts for a high share of both neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and NCDs at the global level. Chronicity of both diseases, high prevalence of risk behaviours, and parallel health system issues along with similar affected populations provide a unique setting for rationalization of health interventions for the control of NTDs in the region.
