Here's an article from the New England Journal of Medicine looking a little bit deeper into the report.

http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp0910064

Quote: Given the vast number of preventable deaths associated with smoking (465,000 per year), hypertension (395,000), obesity (216,000), physical inactivity (191,000), high blood glucose levels (190,000), high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (113,000), and other dietary risk factors, there are huge opportunities to enact policies that could make a substantial difference in health system performance — and in the population's health.
