The bar chart compares the proportion of deaths resulting from heart disease and cancer along with the figure of calorie consumption from industrial foods across ten different countries.
Overall, nations with higher consumption of energy from manufactured foods tend to show lower statistics of deaths from heart-related illnesses and cancer. Notably, while Hungarians consume the lowest calories from pre-packaged foods, they experience the greatest number of deaths from heart illnesses and cancer. On the contrary, Laotian inhabitants take the most amount of energy from processed foods; however, their deaths are least caused by cardiovascular disease and precancerous cells.
Among the countries shown, Hungary has the highest proportion of deaths from heart disease and cancer, reaching nearly 90%, with only 10% of calories coming from industrial foods, also the lowest. The USA and Belgium also show a similar pattern, recording approximately 80% and 70% death rates respectively, and consuming under 15% of processed foods calories for both.
In addition, Laos reports the lowest percentage of deaths from heart disorders, just about 5%; conversely, it has the greatest share of processed food calories, over 90%. Similarly, Thailand (10%) and Korea (30%) have low death rates resulting from heart-related diseases and cancer, and high manufactured foods energy consumped, approximately 70% and 60% respectively.
