Media Coverage: Al4HealthyCities Singapore study finds contributors of cardiovascular disease risk

17 October 2024

CADENCE presents findings from its AI4HealthyCities-SG study, such as smoking and physical inactivity which increase cardiovascular disease risks among Singaporeans.

A research study, Al4HealthyCities-Singapore (Al4HealthyCities-SG), led by our programme, the Cardiovascular Disease National Collaborative Enterprise (CADENCE) in partnership with the Novartis Foundation’s Al4HealthyCities initiative, found that smoking and physical inactivity are major contributors to cardiovascular disease risks among Singaporeans.

These findings shed light on a pressing health challenge and provide crucial insights to inform targeted interventions.
