Our parents or grandparents died from infectious<br > diseases such as tuberculosis, smallpox, and pneu-<br >monia. These diseases were almost eliminated with<br >the development of sanitation measures, effective<br >vaccines, and mass immunization. J<br > While the death rate from the major infectious dis-<br >eases dropped after 1910, the death rate from<br >chronic degenerative diseases increased more than<br >250%o. Chronic degenerative diseases include cardio-<br >vascular (heart and blood vessel) disease, (CVD) can-<br >cer, diabetes, and hypertension.<br > Today, cardiovascular disease accounts for 50% of<br >all deaths; cancer accounts for another 2OWo.~ These<br >diseases are primarily a result of life-style and might<br >be slowed or halted if an individual adopts healthy<br >habits.
