Death Rates from Chronic Diseases Dropped in Most Countries

The chance of dying from chronic illnesses such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes declined in four out of five countries between 2010 and 2019, finds a study of 185 countries published in The Lancet today. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally. The United Nations has set the goal of reducing deaths from these diseases by one-third by 2030. The latest study is the first to investigate the change in NCD mortality across countries.
