Diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes.
This is no longer only happening in high-income countries. Four out of five chronic disease
Deaths today are in low and middle-income countries. People in these countries tend to
Develop diseases at younger ages, suffer longer – often with preventable complications
