Heart attack continues to be the leading killer in Australia, and heart disease is responsible for a quarter of all deaths. New data shows more than half of all adult Australians have three or more of the risk factors that cause heart disease - poor diet, insufficient exercise, smoking and being overweight. That story by Claire Slattery for SBS News, produced by Praba Maheswaran for SBS Tamil.
