“…This study showed hypertension to be more severe in Cape Coloured and Bantu. Females outnumbered males after 50 years among Whites, but after only 30 years among Cape Coloured, and this was not due to toxemia of pregnancy (50).…”

TB affects around 10.6 million people each year and there are now around 155 million TB survivors. TB and its treatments can lead to permanently impaired health and wellbeing. In 2019, representatives of TB affected communities attending the ‘1st International Post-Tuberculosis Symposium´ called for the development of clinical guidance on these issues. This clinical statement on post-TB health and wellbeing responds to this call and builds on the work of the symposium, which brought together TB survivors, healthcare professionals and researchers. Our document offers expert opinion and, where possible, evidence-based guidance to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and management of post-TB conditions and research in this field. It covers all aspects of post-TB, including economic, social and psychological wellbeing, post TB lung disease (PTLD), cardiovascular and pericardial disease, neurological disability, effects in adolescents and children, and future research needs.

“…Differences in the incidence of hypertension are obviously not causative, since this disease is more common in the South African Bantu (14), the Negroes of the Bahamas (15), and the Japanese (16)—in all of whom there is very little CHD—than it is in Americans and Western Europeans (16). In Japan the mortality rate from cerebral hemorrhage in 1955 was 135.9 per 100,000.…”

Over the past twenty to thirty years, a welter of data, sometimes conflicting, has accumulated relating to the epidemiology of coronary heart disease (CHD). This information has been collected by a variety of methods including the analysis of international statistics, international field studies (both clinical and pathologic), transectional national studies of racial, ethnic, occupational and economic groups, and longitudinal studies of living and dietary habits with their associated morbidity and mortality patterns. INCIDENCE OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE IN POOR VERSUS WEALTHY NATIONSDespite a number of major and minor discrepancies which have helped to confuse the issue, these studies have clearly and irrefutably established that among the peoples of poor and/or technologically primitive countries there is very little clinical or pathologic CHD whereas among the peoples of wealthy, technologically advanced nations there is a very high incidence (1). Furthermore, the incidence of CHD appears to be roughly proportional to per capita income and leisure time (l), the countries with the most luxurious way of life having the most CHD. The United States ranks first on both counts. In the poorer countries, the incidence of CHD in the wealthy, sedentary upper classes is comparable to that seen in wealthier nations, despite its rarity in the total population (1-5).Ancel Keys has been very active in this field. With numerous co-workers, he has carried out studies in the United States, Spain (6), South Africa (7), Italy (3), and Japan (4, 8). Other groups have made comparative studies in Africa (9-11), Central America (2) , Israel (12, 13), Korea, India and various other countries. In each instance, these studies have confirmed the relationship between a high standard of living and a high incidence of CHD on the one hand, and between poverty or a primitive way of life and a minimal incidence of CHD on the other. LONGITUDINAL STUDIESFurther evidence relating a high standard of living to increased CHD morbidity and mortality comes from an appraisal of longitudinal statistics. In
