Between 2003 and 2005, the researchers completed a baseline survey of 12 373 people aged 65 years and older living in China, India, and 6 Latin American countries and documented more than 2000 deaths in a 3- to 5-year follow-up period. Chronic diseases, particularly stroke, heart disease, and diabetes, were the primary causes of death.
