Introduction -- The aging population and the growing burden of NCDs -- The care gap for NCDs -- Addressing the burden of NCDs in LMICs. — Sumario: Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have traditionally had younger populations, but declining birth rates and rising life expectancy are reshaping their demographic structures. By 2050, the number of older people in LMICs is expected to more than double to 1.3 billion, representing about 60% of global growth in this age group. As people live longer, the prevalence of age-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and kidney diseaseis also expected to rise. However, many LMIC healthcare systems remain poorly equipped to manage this growing burden, and donors and private capital have yet to adequately address the challenge. The report explores the increasing prevalence of NCDs in LMICs, the barriers to care delivery and access, and outlines three key solution areas to improve care and reduce the impact of NCDs
