“…Furthermore, there are differences in risk factors in high altitude populations that could act as confounding variables. For example, Pajuelo-Ramírez J et al (2019) reported that in Cusco, 6.7 % of men are obese, compared to Lima, where 24.4 % are. In the same study, altitude is associated with a lower proportion of obesity in Peru.…”

“…Fourth, our correlation analyses of COVID-19 deaths with the prevalence of non-transmissible diseases uses, for the latter, data from a survey conducted in 2010-11 in select cities in Peru. More recent surveys 101,102 provide information limited to one or two the morbidities of our interest and without city-or districtlevel detail. Although the relative prevalence among departments of hypertension, obesity or smoking habits did not vary significantly between 2014 and 2019 (ref.…”

“…Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) accounted for 20% of deaths in Peru in 2016 [1]. Prevention and control of CVD is a particular challenge in the country, where more than 60% of the population is overweight [2]. Although rates of CVD are higher in the coastal region, Andean communities also have a substantial disease burden [2][3][4][5].…”

“…Prevention and control of CVD is a particular challenge in the country, where more than 60% of the population is overweight [2]. Although rates of CVD are higher in the coastal region, Andean communities also have a substantial disease burden [2][3][4][5]. Differences in the prevalence of CVD between these regions could be attributed to differing levels of urbanisation [6,7], which can lead to changes in diet and physical activity and the adoption of unhealthy behaviours such as tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption [8].…”
