Every year around the world, 15 million people die before the age of 70 from these chronic diseases involving them, cardiovascular, tumors, diabetes, and overweights. Of course our country doesn't make any difference from that trend.

Chronic and non-transmitting diseases are projected to increase by 2030, despite changes in lifestyle, aging population, and increasing urbanization.
