In particular, this passage:

A major shift is underway in the developing world, in which deaths fro= communicable diseases like malaria http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/malaria/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier and tuberculosis have declined sharply, and chronic diseases like cancer

http://health.nytimes.coghealthiguides/disease/cancer/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier and diabetes are on the rise. 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.
