Historically, infectious diseases were the main cause of death in the world and, indeed, in some developing regions this may still be the case. With the development of antibiotics and vaccination programs, infectious disease is no longer the leading cause of death in the western world.
Non-infectious disease is now responsible for the leading causes of death in both developed and some developing countries.
