AB Four noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are recognized as a global epidemic and comprise the majority of morbidity and mortality worldwide: cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, cancer, and respiratory disease. The United Nations General Assembly has voted to adopt a resolution to begin efforts to reduce premature death from NCDs worldwide by 25% by Year 2025—the so-called “25×25” agenda. This article discusses the 25×25 global agenda for the prevention of CVD.
