Abstract
Global estimates of the effect of common modifiable risk factors on cardiovascular
disease and mortality are largely based on data from separate studies, using different
methodologies. The Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study overcomes these
limitations by using similar methods to prospectively measure the effect of modifiable
risk factors on cardiovascular disease and mortality across 21 countries (spanning
five continents) grouped by different economic levels.
