Cardiovascular and dietary profile drawn from WHO Global Health Estimates. Plant-based score reflects the share of whole plant foods (grains, legumes, vegetables, fruit, nuts) in the typical national diet.
Disease Burden
Leading cause of death: Heart Disease · 247 / 100k
Bars show each rate against the global range; the tick marks the world median.
Heart disease (247/100k) leads and is high, driven by very high smoking rates, rising sugar and fried/processed foods, and a fast-growing diabetes burden. A rice-, tempeh-, and vegetable-based diet provides a protective foundation under strain.
