But there is a challenge which we hear little to nothing about that affects more than a billion people and could be addressed very efficiently. We could reasonably call it the Neglected Enormous Disease.
The world has made large inroads tackling infectious diseases...Instead, half of all death is caused by the two biggest killers, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The biggest killer of all, which is technically called cardiovascular disease but mostly consists of heart attacks and strokes, kills more than 18 million people each year, making up a third of all global deaths.
A big part of the problem is unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, tobacco and alcohol use, which causes obesity and high blood pressure.
