Abstract

In this paper, we developed an Agent-Based Model (ABM) that simulated the emergence and progression of Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in Jamaica. The preliminary results presented demonstrate that the model has merits. Therefore, it can assist policy makers to understand the complex interdependency of the risk factors and how that translates to the emergence of CVDs in the population.
