Chronic diseases-heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, and common cancers-claim        more than one out of every two lives worldwide. Within the next few decades their        toll will rise, most greatly in developing countries. Yet this rapid growth of        chronic diseases is not being met with a proportionate global response. Left        unaddressed, they pose a major threat to social and economic development.This book        is the first to synthesize the growing evidence-base surrounding chronic disease,        comprehensively addressing the prevention and control of chronic diseases from        epidemiologic, economic, prevention/management, and political economy        perspectives.Sick Societies is written in five main parts. The first three chapters        explore the causes and consequences of chronic diseases on a global level. Chapter        four identifi es different approaches to preventing and managing chronic diseases,        while chapters five and six consider the power and politics in global health that        have stymied an effective response to chronic disease. In chapter seven, the themes        from the first three parts come into focus through a series of invited contributions        fromleading public health experts. The final chapter sets out a model of pragmatic        and imaginative solidarity, wherein the struggles of the rich and poor to survive        are united by a common cause and shared goals.
