Prevalence of comorbidities such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease and cancer are rising in LMICs, and in some settings have overtaken HIC.

    Document: Several other determinants related to host, viral and environmental factors may be ascribed to these mortality differences. Prevalence of comorbidities such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease and cancer are rising in LMICs, and in some settings have overtaken HIC. In 2019 non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus prevalence among adults was reported to be 11% in Asian countries and 6% in Europe 21 . The World Health Organization estimates higher cardiovascular disease risk in Asian regions than in European and North American regions 22 . Since we had no access to comprehensive nationally representative comorbidity data, the contribution of disease comorbidity as a population level risk factor for COVID-19-attributable mortality remains unclear.
