The World Health Organization recognizes all deaths before the age of 70 as premature. 8 out of 10 deaths both in the world and in the Republic of Belarus are associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) – cardiovascular diseases, oncological diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes.
However, there are effective preventive measures for NCDs. These measures are beyond the competence of medical professionals or only one Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus and relate to the regulation of food sales, urban planning and promotion of physical activity, regulation of tobacco and alcohol trafficking, changing people’s behavior in favor of a healthier lifestyle.
