Associations between mental health disorder and management of physical chronic conditions in China: a pooled cross-sectional analysis

Abstract Physical non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health disorders are a rapidly increasing health burden in low-and middle-income countries. This study aims to examine the relationships between mental health disorders and cascade of care in managing four common physical NCDs (hypertensi...
