3. The Global Burden of Non- Communicable Diseases (NCDs) 36/57 million (63%) global deaths in 2008 were due to NCDs: Cardiovascular diseases: 17 million Diabetes mellitus: 1.3 million Cancers: 7.6 million Chronic respiratory diseases: 4.2 million NCD deaths are expected to increase globally by 15% between 2010 and 2020

4. Major Causes of Global Mortality (WHO 2005) “Other conditions” comprises communicable diseases, maternal and perinatal conditions and nutritional deficiencies

5. The Burden of NCDs in the Developing World Nearly 80% of NCD deaths occur in middle and low income countries NCDs are most common cause of death in most countries (except Africa) In middle and low income countries 29% of NCD deaths occur in people below age 60, compared to 13% in high income countries Global status report on non-communicable diseases.
