The pattern is linked to economic improvement an= more people living longer, but it has left governments in developing coun=ries scrambling to deal with new and often more expensive ways to treat il=nesses. The study, led by the Inst=tute for Health Metrics and Evaluation <http://www.healthdata.orgh, , a research group, was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It is the largest analysis of glo=al disability data to date, drawing on more than 35,000 data sources in 18= countries. Given that (1) BMGF funds this and i= obviously aware of this shift, and (2) that the influx of western diets i=to developing worlds is 99.9% likely the driver of this phenomenon, do you think Bill G would be interested in our work? I have never put much effort into this, assuming there was no chance given =ack of overlap. But...this has me wondering.
