Julia Eid & Annabel Desgrées du Loû (2022)

The management of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure is a major global health challenge, particularly among the most disadvantaged populations. Beyond the biomedical management of these diseases, comprehensive support that takes into account the peoples’ economic and social situation is fundamental. The objective of this scoping review is to create an inventory and an analysis of the different types of support for these chronic diseases among disadvantaged, immigrant or minority populations. The aim is to contribute to a better definition and characterization of what should be global support for these vulnerable populations suffering from these diseases.
