• Nutritional Evaluation of Five African Indigenous Vegetables (2013, background): “It is anticipated that Africa will lose at least a cumulative US $ 4 billion to chronic diseases by 2015 (Abegunde et al. 2007).”
• Mortality from ischaemic heart disease by country, region, and age: Statistics from World Health Organisation and United Nations (2013, background): “IHD contributes substantially to premature mortality in these populations, and reducing IHD mortality will increase the lifespan of working-age populations, and may therefore have an important effect on economic growth [40].”
