Overview

This systematic review reveals rising cardiovascular disease rates among rural populations in Central Asia, suggesting urgent public health action is needed.

Key Points

To synthesize evidence on cardiovascular disease incidence, prevalence, and risk factors among rural and urban populations in Central Asia.
Conducted a systematic literature search across multiple databases for relevant studies from 2015 to 2025.
Included studies provided urban-rural stratification of cardiovascular health indicators across five Central Asian countries.
Data extraction involved assessing the methodological quality using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale.
CVD incidence and prevalence increased in both urban and rural areas, with urban populations showing higher mortality rates.
Key risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, and smoking were prevalent, particularly in rural settings.
Disparities in healthcare access and preventive programs contributed to differences in cardiovascular health outcomes.
