The linked article doesn't say that. The sentence actually reads:

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world according to the Global Burden of Disease study, with 18.6 million annual deaths in 2019, of which around 7.9 are attributable to diet.

I don’t know how that word got there.

It’s not in the original article, and my deletions don’t seem to explain it.
