While the United States and the world have made great strides in reducing deathfrom chronic diseases in the 20th century, there are still millions of people around the world who die each year. While thereare policies and behaviors that we know can reduce mortality and improve quality of life, there is still much more we need tounderstand about chronic diseases.
