The PSNP in Ethiopia aims to address food insecurity and malnutrition through multi-sectoral collaboration. While PSNP-4 integrated nutrition objectives throughout its design, challenges remain in implementation due to limited capacities at local levels and service availability. Lessons indicate a need to better define implementation modalities across sectors and build frontline worker skills. Ongoing data collection and advocacy can help address bottlenecks and guide the transition from design to effective nutrition-sensitive implementation.

This document discusses risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO) based on data from 1990-2010. It finds that while the region has successfully reduced risks for childhood infectious diseases, it has experienced large increases in overweight/obesity and diabetes due to rising metabolic risks from diet and physical inactivity. The region also has not replicated reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol seen elsewhere. Metabolic risks and smoking are now leading causes of disease burden, highlighting the need for NCD prevention priorities in EMRO.

Reducing Risk of Non-Communicable Diseases

This document discusses non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and respiratory diseases in developing countries like India. NCDs are a major public health challenge and cause significant economic losses due to reduced productivity. Shared risk factors for NCDs include tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol. Adopting healthy lifestyles and balanced diets rich in phytochemicals can help reduce the risk of NCDs. Functional foods containing beneficial compounds have shown promise in supporting health. However, more research is still needed regarding their efficacy.

Apc a-00111-tax soda

Dr. Robert Rutledge

Dr. Robert Rutledge argues that professionals need to more actively support efforts to fight obesity. He proposes taxing soda and subsidizing vegetables to influence consumption habits. Obesity results from engineered food containing excessive salt, sugar, and fat, not personal failings. Taxes on soda and subsidies for produce could lower obesity rates, as studies show price affects consumption. Doctors must advocate bold policies like soda taxes to curb obesity's global epidemic.
