AbstractNon Communicable diseases (NCDs) kill more than 36 million people each year.
· Nearly 80% of NCD deaths - 29 million - occur in low- and middle-income countries.
· More than nine million of all deaths attributed to NCDs occur before the age of 60; 90% of these “premature” deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries.
· Cardiovascular diseases account for most NCD deaths, or 17.3 million people annually, followed by cancers (7.6 million), respiratory diseases (4.2 million), and diabetes (1.3 million).
· These four groups of diseases account for around 80% of all NCD deaths.
· They share four risk factors: tobacco use, physical inactivity, the harmful use of alcohol and unhealthy diets.[1]
