Centre of Research Excellence on Women and Non-communicable Disease (CRE WaND): Prevention and Detection

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Non-communicable diseases (NCD) – such as cardiovascular disease – are now leading causes of mortality and morbidity among women, both globally and in Australia. This CRE shifts the focus of women’s health from reproductive and maternal health to encompass the risk of NCDs. It will examine how the risk factors that women face combine to influence NCDs across life; quantify their impacts on health services use; and identify how best to transform current approaches to prevent NCDs among women.
