Data Resource Profile: The Global Health and Population Project on Access to Care for Cardiometabolic Diseases (HPACC)

Though more than four in five deaths due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) occur in low-income and middle-income

countries, there have been few data sources that allow for empirical estimation of key relationships relevant to the

epidemiology, health behaviour and health services of CVD risk factors at the level of the individual. The Global

Health and Population Project on Access to Care for Cardiometabolic Diseases (HPACC) is a novel data resource that

fills this gap.
