...second article in this week's Lancet shows that heart-disease risk factors are rapidly becoming more common worldwide, even in sub-Saharan Africa, where infectious disease remains a big killer. In theory, African doctors should be among those who benefit most from the new paper's findings. In resource-poor settings, saving the $1 to $3 cost of a lab blood test (in the U.S. it costs $10, according to the Lancet paper) would certainly be meaningful - but that's assuming the tests were being performed to start with.
