Editor's Notes
Investing in prevention and improved control of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) would reduce premature death and preventable morbidity and disability, and improve the quality of life and well-being of people and societies. No less than 86% of deaths and 77% of the disease burden in the WHO European Region are caused by this broad group of disorders, which are linked by common risk factors, underlying determinants and opportunities for intervention. In Europe, there is a good understanding of the wider societal approaches to addressing the NCD epidemic. We have strong collective experience on the use of price as an incentive or disincentive for behaviour, on the control of advertising of unhealthy goods, on the reduction of salt through food product reformulation, and on the planning of urban environments to facilitate the use of active transport, among others. Healthy choices are easier when the fiscal, physical and policy environments make them the automatic choices.This approach was enshrined in the integrated regional strategy on noncommunicable diseases (NCD) that was adopted by the Regional Committee in 2006. In line with the Action Plan for the Implementation of the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCD, WHO is finalizing a European action plan, which will come to the Regional Committee next September in Baku.
