Depression and cardiovascular disease are not linked by high blood pressure: findings from the SAPALDIA cohort (Publications)
Depression and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are main contributors to the global disease burden and are linked. Pathophysiological pathways through increased blood pressure (BP) are a common focus in s
Symptoms and functional limitations related to respiratory health and carbon monoxide poisoning in Tanzania: a cross sectional study (Publications)
