Four non-communicable diseases-cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer-account for over 60 % of all deaths globally. In recognition of this significant epidemic, the United Nations set forth a target of reducing the four major NCDs by 25 % by 2025. Cardiovascular disease alone represents half of these deaths and is the leading cause of death globally, representing as much as 60 % of all deaths in regions such as Eastern Europe. In response, the WHO set specific targets on conditions and risk factors and changes in the health systems structure in order to achieve the goals. The focus was set on lifestyle risk factors-physical activity, salt-intake, and tobacco-and established conditions-obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Health system efforts to improve medical treatment of high risk are encouraged. Efforts to achieve the goal are being promoted by leading international CVD organizations.
四种非传染性疾病——心血管疾病、慢性呼吸道疾病、糖尿病和癌症——占全球所有死亡人数的60%以上。认识到这一重大流行情况,联合国制定了到2025年将这四种主要非传染性疾病减少25%的目标。仅心血管疾病就占这些死亡人数的一半,是全球主要死因,在东欧等地区占所有死亡人数的60%之多。作为回应,世卫组织针对疾病、风险因素以及卫生系统结构变化设定了具体目标,以实现这些目标。重点放在生活方式风险因素——身体活动、盐摄入量和烟草——以及既定疾病——肥胖、高血压和糖尿病上。鼓励卫生系统努力改善对高危人群的医疗。领先的国际心血管疾病组织正在推动实现这一目标的努力。
