“…23,24 Nevertheless, largely owing to financial constraints, most countries have not carried out surveys that involve blood pressure measurement and very few have established continuous surveys. In our study, we were able to obtain access to individual-level data for only 20 of 73 countries identified.…”

“…Thus, comparative information -as is already available for diabetes and hypercholesterolaemia -is needed to benchmark and compare how health systems perform in controlling hypertension. 23,24 Our aim was to provide comparable, comprehensive and consistent evidence on the management of hypertension internationally by analysing data from health surveys in 20 countries that included blood pressure measurement.…”

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a major contributor to the global disease burden and was responsible for 7% of all disability-adjusted life years in 2010.1 Moreover, the number of people with uncontrolled hypertension has increased to around 1 billion worldwide in the past three decades.2 As a result, the effective control of hypertension has become a priority for global health policy and, with growing interest in the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs),3 it is vital that health-care systems deliver appropriate interventions for tackling high blood pressure

“…DM is known as a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, being one of the main responsible for the global burden of disease [4] . It is the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure and amputation worldwide [5], and is responsible for causing cardiovascular problems that lead to 50-80% of deaths in people with diabetes [6]. The prevalence of DM in Portugal in 2014 was estimated at 13.1% (10.8% in women and 15.8% in men) [7] and Portugal is known as the European Union country with the highest prevalence of this chronic disease [8].…”

“…Undiagnosed disease varies considerably even within western industrialised countries (Gakidou et al, 2011) and the problem is much worse if one also considers developing countries. In addition, thresholds for disease diagnosis may vary across countries and over time since disease thresholds are being periodically revaluated usually with a lowering of disease thresholds (Smith, 2007b).…”

IntroductionInternational comparisons of health outcomes are growing in importance as a method of gaining insight into the determinants and consequences of health status. In part this is because some institutions-such as the organization of health insurance, the provision of health care, welfare states or work place arrangements-vary more systematically and perhaps exogenously across countries than within countries. But also this is because of the emergence of a set of high quality and comparable international health and economic panel data in which economists have played a central role in the design process. These panel surveys allow econometric modeling with an international comparative lens that was previously not possible.These international surveys and the subsequent economic research that has emerged from them have predominantly dealt with health and economic transitions around, and after, the retirement years. As well as being the years of life during which the exit from the labor force eventually takes place, these are also the years where the majority of transitions from good health to poor health, and then subsequently to death, take place.Quite naturally then, these economic and health levels and transitions at older ages and the nature of the dual interactions between them are the main focus of our essay. Western countries, even those at relatively similar levels of development and national income, have a quite diverse set of policies in place to deal with the retirement and health behaviors of their individual populations and have experienced a quite diverse set of economic and health outcomes at the population level. This juxtaposition of a diverse set of policies alongside an equally diverse set of health, economic, and labor force outcomes has been a signal to economists that research centering on the inter-relationships between them ought to be fruitful if the not inconsiderable methodological and data issues surrounding such international comparisons can be overcome.The scope of our essay is limited in at least two important ways. First, we focus our attention primarily on international comparisons within industrialized Western countries. There is an excellent set of surveys by economists on developing countries where other issues, such as malnutrition for example, play a critical role Thomas, 1998 and. Second, as mentioned above, our focus also rests primarily on health in mid and later life and not in the context of early life development, except of course when these early life health conditions play an important contributory role to later life health.
