迫切需要采取行动，遏制低收入和中等收入国家非传染性疾病发病率的上升，并减轻由此造成的社会和经济负担。有全球证据表明，应对烟草使用、不健康饮食、缺乏体育锻炼和酗酒等主要非传染性疾病风险因素的最具成本效益的干预措施。然而，尚不清楚有多少研究侧重于向当地采用和实施这些干预措施提供信息。通过使用文献计量学分析来量化相关同行评议的科学出版物的数量，评估非传染性疾病优先干预措施在小岛屿发展中国家的研究活动程度。在多学科、多语种期刊数据库中搜索关于非传染性疾病优先干预的文章。所审查的干预措施强调了全人口、政策、监管和立法方法。搜索的出版时间范围是2000-2011年。在产生的11,211篇文章中，有525篇符合纳入标准。在这12年期间，发表的论文数量总体上有所增加，但各区域之间差别很大：拉丁美洲和加勒比的论文数量最多(127篇)，中东和北非的文章数量最低(11篇)。在风险因素组中，“烟草控制”在出版物中居首，“健康饮食和体育锻炼”和“减少有害酒精使用”分列第二和第三位。尽管有一半出版物的第一作者来自高收入国家的机构，但发展中国家的作者近年来有所增加。尽管全球对非传染性疾病的日益关注可能导致关于低收入国家非传染性疾病的同行评议出版物增加，但与具有成本效益的干预措施直接相关的出版率仍然很低，这表明当地研究活动有限，或低收入国家研究人员就这些问题发表文章的机会有限。需要对高优先级干预措施进行更多研究，研究资助者应该重新审查干预研究是否足够作为资金优先事项。
Action is urgently needed to curb the rising rates of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and reduce the resulting social and economic burdens. There is global evidence about the most cost-effective interventions for addressing the main NCD risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and alcohol misuse. However, it is unknown how much research is focused on informing the local adoption and implementation of these interventions. To assess the degree of research activity on NCD priority interventions in LMICs by using bibliometric analysis to quantify the number of relevant peer-reviewed scientific publications. A multidisciplinary, multi-lingual journal database was searched for articles on NCD priority interventions. The interventions examined emphasise population-wide, policy, regulation, and legislation approaches. The publication timeframe searched was the year 2000–2011. Of the 11,211 articles yielded, 525 met the inclusion criteria. Over the 12-year period, the number of articles published increased overall but differed substantially between regions: Latin America & Caribbean had the highest (127) and Middle East & North Africa had the lowest (11). Of the risk factor groups, ‘tobacco control’ led in publications, with ‘healthy diets and physical activity’ and ‘reducing harmful alcohol use’ in second and third place. Though half the publications had a first author from a high-income country institutional affiliation, developing country authorship had increased in recent years. While rising global attention to NCDs has likely produced an increase in peer-reviewed publications on NCDs in LMICs, publication rates directly related to cost-effective interventions are still very low, suggesting either limited local research activity or limited opportunities for LMIC researchers to publish on these issues. More research is needed on high-priority interventions and research funders should re-examine if intervention research is enough of a funding priority.
