Social and economic impacts of non-communicable diseases by gender and its related drivers: a literature review

This study aims to identify economic and social impacts of NCDs by gender and its related drivers. Following the guidelines proposed in the Cochrane Manual for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the PRISMA Statement, we conducted a narrative and structured literature review to identify the economic (direct medical and non-medical, and indirect costs) and social (right to health, employment, poverty, social exclusion, and others) impacts of NCDs by gender, and its structural, sociodemographic, health conditions, political and health systems drivers, for the period 2002-2022, in English and Spanish. Reviewed studies were described according to country and research context, temporal evolution, gender, impacts of NCDs and drivers. In order to contribute to transparency and replicability of research, the authors of this study made the data available.
