17 million people die before the age of 70 each year from noncommunicable diseases.

Studies show these deaths are attributed to metabolic risk factors such as raised blood pressure, high blood glucose levels, high levels of fat in the blood, and overweight/obesity. These metabolic risk factors are primarily impacted by modifiable lifestyle choices like dietary choices, exercise volume, and tobacco and alcohol consumption.
