2 NCD assessments: some lessons from Europe Need for an NCD plan and monitoring & assessment framework, including time-bound targets and specific indicators Assessing of the individual components on the NCD plan Mortality, morbidity, risk factors trends, age/sex distribution, geographical patterns Health system resources, policies & programmes Conducting an comprehensive/integrated assessment, including different health dimensions Data integration, disaggregation and synthesis Regression analyses, modelling, Measuring processes and progress NCD assessments: lessons learned 27 October 2016

3 Health determinants, risk factors and impacts: defining a framework for NCD monitoring and action Risk factors tobacco use, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet Risk factors High blood pressure, sugar, lipids & obesity Performance of health system: effects on persons & population

5 World Health Assembly, May 2013: 9 global NCD targets to be attained by 2025 (against a 2010 baseline) A 25% relative reduction in risk of premature mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory diseases At least a 10% relative reduction in the harmful use of alcohol A 10% relative reduction in prevalence of insufficient physical activity A 25% relative reduction in prevalence of raised blood pressure or contain the prevalence of raised blood pressure A 30% relative reduction in prevalence of current tobacco use Halt the rise in diabetes and obesity A 30% relative reduction in mean population intake of salt/sodium An 80% availability of the affordable basic technologies and essential medicines, incl. generics, required to treat NCDs At least 50% of eligible people receive drug therapy and counselling to prevent heart attacks and strokes How do we know we are achieving targets? Monitoring indicators
