Jacobsen (2024, p. 369) writes "At the population level, about half of all CVD deaths are thought to be attributable to modifiable risk factors. That means that nearly 10 million deaths each year could be prevented." As the historian Harari points out, we now live in an era in which far more people are dying annually of sugar than of gun powder.

For this discussion activity, I want you to research the challenges and opportunities for improving CVD deaths attributable to modifiable risk factors. Focus your attention on the topics of challenges and opportunities for initiatives to impact this topic. Even a 2% improvement could save 200,000 lives a year and untold financial burden, so this is well worth paying attention to.

In your response to the class,

1) Identify at least three key challenges facing attempts to improve the prevalence and impact of CVD globally.

2) What efforts currently exist attempting to combat those challenges?

3) Identify at least three key opportunities to improve the prevalence and impact of CVD globally.

4) Conclude your post with a discussion question on that topic for your classmates to respond to.
