Community Demonstration Programs for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention: The Asia-Pacific Experience

Robert Beaglehole, MD, FRACP

Department of Community Health University of Auckland Auckland, New Zealand

Cardiovascular diseases are an important and increasing cause of death in many countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. Formal demonstration programs for the prevention of cardiovascular disease are few in number and not likely to be widely used in the future. Prevention programs focused on key risk factors are widely used in the Region and have been successful. Smoking prevention remains a high priority for all countries in the Region.

Key Words: Asia-Pacific • cardiovascular disease • demonstration programs • prevention programs • smoking.
