Abstract

The studies to be presented in this symposium address Goal Three of the United Nations Sustainable Development program to reduce by 2030 one third of premature mortality from NCD"s through prevention and treatment with the work of nurse scientist teams in the Pacific Rim and the United States.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCD) such as cardiovascular disease, cancers, diabetes and chronic lung diseases account for 68% of global deaths, disproportionally affecting low resource countries; and contributing to disparities in immigrant populations in high resource countries. The studies to be presented in this symposium address Goal Three of the United Nations Sustainable Development program to reduce by 2030 one third of premature mortality from NCD"s through prevention and treatment.
