"A syndemic is usually confined to a certain geographical area at a certain time and often brought about by changes in cultural, political and/or economic patterns e.g. globalization and poverty might change dietary patterns in a population which bring about more obesity, diabetes and depression in that population."
"Syndemics may involve infectious and/or or non-communicable diseases and/or conditions e.g. the SAVA syndemic of substance abuse, violence and HIV/AIDS and often occur in specific social or ethnic groups inside a country or group of countries."
