Association between length of urban residence and cardiovascular risk factors among Bangladeshi rural-to-urban migrants

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Discussion: The findings of this study suggests that CVD risk factors increase with time spent in urban area, though the pattern and magnitude of these changes were not uniform and varied across risk factors. Public health interventions focused on the control of non-communicable diseases in newer migrants to urban areas may be beneficial. Further longitudinal study can be designed where measurements could be made prior to and after migration, and participants followed for several years to examine how CVD risk evolves over time. Such a study needs to be conducted to better understand CVD and its risk factors.
