<p>Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the main cause of death worldwide. The incidence, prevalence, and death rates from NCDs are expected to increase in the future. No single discipline can address the issues of prevention, early detection, access to care, and appropriate treatment that are needed to improve outcomes for NCDs; this will require transdisciplinary collaborations. Given the tremendous impact of NCDs on morbidity, mortality, and costs worldwide, there is little doubt that efforts to improve NDC outcomes are worthwhile.</p> <p>The projects described in this book focus on the risk factors for treatment of the NCDs responsible for the greatest impact on morbidity and mortality: cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases. The pilot projects were carried out in low- and middle-income countries, which are disproportionately affected by NCDs. The lessons learned from these initial pilot projects have great potential to be increased in scale to reduce the devastating impact of noncommunicable diseases.</p>
