Why is it important?
Our findings show that after 27 years, people in Indonesia living longer (increasingly 8 years) but spending their later years in poor health as a result of chronic diseases. Females living longer than males. Communicable diseases, maternal, neonatal, nutritional, and injuries causes death and disability decreased but non-communicable disease rose. Dietary risk leading contributor to the poor health like heart disease, stroke, and diabetic.
Perspectives
I hope from this article the health policy maker prioritize the healthy diet promotion to prevent the chronic diseases. In the further work we need to explore more about personalized prevention intervention especially for personalized diet.
