Abstract

With the changing distribution of infectious diseases, and an increase in the burden of non-communicable diseases, low- and middle-income countries, including those in Africa, will need to expand their health care capacities to effectively respond to these epidemiological transitions. The interrelated risk factors for chronic infectious and non-communicable diseases and the need for long-term disease management, argue for combined strategies to understand their underlying causes and to design strategies for effective prevention and long-term care. Through multidisciplinary research and implementation partnerships, we advocate an integrated approach for research and healthcare for chronic diseases in Africa.

非洲慢性病研究和护理需要综合方法。

随着传染病分布的变化和非传染性疾病负担的增加，包括非洲国家在内的中低收入国家将需要扩大其医疗保健能力，以有效应对这些流行病学的转变。慢性传染病和非传染性疾病的风险因素相互关联，而且需要长期的疾病管理，因此需要采取综合战略来了解其根本原因，并制定有效预防和长期护理的战略。通过多学科研究和实施伙伴关系，我们提倡对非洲慢性病的研究和医疗保健采取综合方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
