"Life expectancy in Japan, South Korea, and much of urban China has now outpaced that of the United States and other high-income countries. With this triumph of longevity, however, comes a rise in the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and hypertension, reducing healthy life years for individuals in these aging populations, as well as challenging the healthcare systems they rely on for appropriate care.

What strategies have been tried to prevent NCDs--the primary cause of morbidity and mortality -- as well as to screen for early detection, raise the quality of care, improve medication adherence, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and increase "value for money" in health spending?
