In The Lancet Global Health, the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration—Americas Working Group report the trends in the Americas from 1980 to 2014 of three important cardiometabolic risk factors: obesity, diabetes, and increased blood pressure. The results of this study are important to the Americas because cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in almost all countries of the region, stroke and myocardial infarction being the leading causes. The three risk factors addressed in the study are some of those that explained 90% of the population-attributable risk for myocardial infarction in the INTERHEART Latin America study and stroke in the INTERSTROKE study. Additionally, the results of this study are particularly important for Latin American because of the insufficient information available on risk factors trends, other than those published by the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration on obesity, diabetes, and raised blood pressure.^{,  ,}

在美洲，肥胖，糖尿病和血压升高的趋势呈多样化趋势。

在《柳叶刀》全球健康杂志中NCD危险因素协作组织-美国工作组报告了1980年至2014年美洲三种重要的心脏代谢危险因素的趋势：肥胖，糖尿病和血压升高。这项研究的结果对美洲很重要，因为心血管疾病是该地区几乎所有国家的主要死亡原因，中风和心肌梗塞是主要原因。该研究中涉及的三个风险因素是一些因素，这些因素在INTERHEART拉丁美洲研究和INTERSTROKE研究中解释了90％的人群归因于心肌梗塞的风险。此外，这项研究的结果对拉丁美洲尤为重要，因为关于危险因素趋势的可用信息不足，^{，  ，}
