South Africa also has a very young population (median age around 26, I think?) , with older generations possibly offered some protection (still speculative) from compulsory TB vaccinations (BCG). Nevertheless, TB, HIV, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity are rife. Unhealthy diet: poverty-stricken workers inclined to buy sugar-laden drinks and convenient, cheap (poor quality) fast foods. Many co-morbidities.
