?According the World Health Organization's statistics, chronic NCDs
such CVDs, diabetes, cancers, obesity and respiratory diseases,
account for about 60% of the 56.5 million deaths each year and almost
half of the global burden of disease.?

The increase in deaths estimated by the World Health Organization is a
tiny fraction of 56 million deaths reported annually around the globe
for all reasons.

In human populations, a good rule of thumb is that 1% of the
population kicks the bucket every year.  So, on a planet of 6 billion
people, you would figure about 60 million die each year, which jives
very well with bobbie7-ga's numbers.
