DESCRIPTION:Cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) are a major global burden. Desp
 ite the overall improvement in CMD outcomes in the past decades among the 
 general population living in high-income countries such as Europe and Nort
 h America\, large differences in CMD morbidity and mortality exist between
  migrant and host populations in these countries. In general\, migrant pop
 ulations have worse CMD outcomes than the host populations for reasons tha
 t are still unclear. Similarly\, CMD pose a major challenge in low-and mid
 dle-income countries where most migrant populations originate from. Unders
 tanding the drivers behind these disparities may help to mitigate the uneq
 ual burden of CMD and to identify new causal pathways that contribute to C
 MD risk in these population.\n\n\nThis lecture discusses CMD burden and dr
 ivers among migrant and non-migrant African populations drawing on lessons
  learnt from the RODAM study. Furthermore\, interventions to address CMD c
 hallenges will be discussed using our ongoing Horizon projects such as Gen
 eration-H and M-CARE as exemplars. \n
