Note that as these three factors continue to increase, the rise of mortality rates increases with them, so legitimately, the awareness and the costs to uphold HD have made a large impact upon society, but not enough to sustain the amount of population growth, and the other subsiding factors within our world. This could plausibly be the reason why HD is still in continuum as the number one cause of deaths in the
