04 Sep 2019 --- Cancer is now the leading cause of death in middle-aged adults from high-income countries (HIC), while Generation X in middle- and low-income countries (MIC, LIC) continues to be burdened by cardiovascular heart disease (CVD). The causes of CVD vary by country, but nutrition-related factors are a running theme.
