abstract="The way of life in many developing countries in the tropics is in a state of transition--from traditional to &quot;modern&quot;, with its associated industrialisation, urbanisation and cultural readjustment. Infectious diseases are giving way to non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, adult onset diabetes, cancers, trauma and non-infectious respiratory diseases, as major causes of morbidity and premature mortality. The epidemiology, causality, prevention and treatment of these conditions is summarised in the context of developing countries.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
