Ten-year risk of fatal cardiovascular disease and its association with metabolic risk factors among waste pickers in South Africa

Abstract: Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among non-communicable diseases in South Africa. Several metabolic risk factors contribute to the development of CVD. Informal workers such as waste pickers could be unhealthy lifestyle naive, and most public health research on CVD does not include this understudied population. This study estimated the 10-year risk of fatal CVD and its association with metabolic risk factors in an understudied study population of waste picker… Show more

“…This process requires individuals to develop general skills and the ability to be dynamically motivated to analyze a given context and to identify opportunities deriving from cognitive or motivational changes (Poblete and Mandakovic, 2021). However, previous research has emphasized the role played by waste pickers in sustainability and local development, as well as the impacts of this activity on their health and well-being (Alvarado‐Esquivel et al , 2021; Coletto and Bisschop, 2017; Danese, 2021; Made et al , 2021).…”
