Lifestyle-related diseases are now killing more Indians than the infectious ones. India's disease pattern has undergone a major shift over the past decade, says the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The latest WHO data paints a worrying picture. At present, out of every 10 deaths in India, eight are caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes in urban India. In rural India, six out of every 10 deaths is caused by NCDs.
