Is cancer rolled into those age related disease numbers? Heart disease?
If so, do you happen to know how it breaks out? Cancer and heart disease get quite a lot of medical and funding attention (which doesn't necessarily mean they get enough).
Yes and yes. In both cases most funding goes towards intervening in much more ineffective ways than addressing root causes or common efficiently addressed mechanisms, however. Most of it all about trying to mess with proximate causes. Bailing out the boat rather than plugging the leak. Making better piston lubricants rather than fixing the worn components of the combustion engine. That sort of thing.
