Yes , they differ by region to region , in high income countries people do less physical activities so they have obesity, heart problems and diabetes etc . And the environment is also vary from place to place and it plays a very important role in cancer , in low income countries people are less educative about their health, they don't know the side effects of smoking so they do smoking and they get respiratory problems, and in developed countries mainly people have sedentary lifestyle and they eat fast foods more that's why they are very prone to heart problems.
