“…Maternal and childhood malnutrition are becoming more common in LMICs ( 30 ), resulting in fetal growth problems. Restriction, stunting, waste, and food isolation are also examples of nutrient isolation.…”

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) endure an asymmetrically high burden of worldwide disease and death caused by chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), i.e., asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis, and post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD). CRDs are firmly related with indigence, infectious diseases, and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and add to complex multi-disease with great impact on the lives and livelihood of those affected. The pertinence of CRDs to health and demographic wellbeing is relied upon to increment in the long time ahead, as expectations of life rise and the contending dangers of right on time youth mortality and irresistible infections level. The WHO has distinguished the counteraction and control of NCDs as an earnest improvement issue and crucial for the sustainable development goals (SDSs) by 2030. In this review, we center on CRDs in LMICs. We examine the early life roots of CRDs, challenges in their avoidance, identification and administration in LMICs, and the pathways to resolve for accomplish valid widespread wellbeing inclusion.

“…31,32 Deficits are more severe in those with delayed diagnosis and late ART initiation. 33 Nutrition: LMICs increasingly face a dual burden of maternal and childhood malnutrition, 34 which results in foetal growth restriction, stunting, wasting, and isolated nutrient deficiencies, but also children who are overweight or obese. 35,36 The limited available data suggest that in utero and early childhood starvation have adverse effects on lung development that persist into adult life.…”

Improving lung health in low-income and middle-income countries: from challenges to solutions

Low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) bear a disproportionately high burden of the global morbidity and mortality caused by chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis and post-tuberculous lung disease. CRDs are strongly associated with poverty, infectious diseases, and other non-communicable diseases, and contribute to complex multi-morbidity, with significant consequences for the lives and livelihoods of those affected.The relevance of CRDs to health and socioeconomic wellbeing is expected to increase over time, as life expectancies rise and the competing risks of early childhood mortality and infectious diseases plateau. As such, the World Health Organization has identified the prevention and control of CRDs as an urgent development issue and essential to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.In this review we focus on CRDs in low-and middle-income settings (LMICs). We discuss the early life origins of CRDs, challenges in prevention, diagnosis and management in LMICs, and pathways to solutions to achieve true Universal Health Coverage.
