Abstract
After long being neglected, the global problem of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) has received increasing attention, culminating in a United Nations high-level meeting on NCDs in New York in September 2011.1 The growing global NCD crisis is now killing 36 million people each year and needs urgent and comprehensive action.2 Attention is mainly focused on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers and chronic respiratory diseases, but debate remains about the relative importance of prevention and care.
