Global CVD

Approximately 80% of global deaths from cardiovascular disease and related conditions occur in low-and middle-income countries.

Addressing tobacco use, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet can prevent approximately 80% of chronic non-communicable diseases among men and women of all ages and in all parts of the world.

Improved documentation of data for cardiovascular disease prevalence and its risk factors can support research, planning, and advocacy efforts.
