Abstract:
Collaborative initiatives like Joint Action PreventNCD are essential in addressing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which account for over 80% of the disease burden in European Union (EU) countries. By targeting health determinants such as tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity, while leveraging technology and innovation, the European Union aims to prevent and manage NCDs efficiently. Through sustained investment and collaboration, preventive measures can significantly reduce the NCD burden, promoting healthier lives and reducing pressures on healthcare systems.
