Abstract
Non communicable diseases (NCD) such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in many communities world-wide and account for 80% of deaths in low- to middle-income countries (World Health Organization [WHO]; World Statistics 2011; Geneva WHO, 2011). In 2014 (in Ecuador), CVD accounted for 25% of all deaths (all ages, both sexes) followed by cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes [17%, 4%, and 4%] (WHO, 2014).
