The two pie charts show differences in the causes of diseases in rich 
countries and in the developing world. The biggest difference is that infectious 
diseases still kill millions of people in poorer countries, whereas in the wealthy 
nations, they account for only 1% of the deaths. 
In both rich and poor countries heart disease is the biggest single killer. It 
accounts for almost a quarter of deaths in the affluent countries, at 24%, but 
almost double that in the poorer countries, at 43%. Cancer is also a major 
cause of death. In the industrial countries, 21% of deaths are due to cancer. 
However, in third world countries, it only makes up 9% of fatalities. The 
greatest difference however, is infectious diseases. These make up almost 
half of all deaths in poorer countries, but only 1% of diseases in developed 
countries. In contrast, over half of deaths in the developed world are the result 
of other diseases. This compares to just 2% of deaths in poorer countries. 
In summary, most people in poorer countries die because of simpler, more 
treatable infectious and parasitic diseases. They also suffer because of a lack 
of resources to treat heart disease, whereas people in richer countries die due 
to cancer, heart disease, and a wider range of other illnesses.
