Further analysis looking at population level, and using the UK vs Netherlands http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/world-health-review/united-kingdom-vs-netherlands http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/world-health-review/unite... Deaths through CVD in the UK are at 17%, Netherlands at 10%. Note you do have to die from something at some point, so having 7% of your population dying early from CVD should reduce your incidence of other deaths within the population. ;)
