Addressing 11 #social & #risk factors, like employment, income & education, & smoking, weight & nutrition, could help close the #HealthGap by two thirds. Culturally appropriate services, connection to country & tackling racism would further help #ActOnNCDs aihw.gov.au/reports/austra…

Burden of #ChronicDisease increases with remoteness. Per @ABSStats data, people living in rural, regional & remote Australia experience more harmful determinants & risk factors like tobacco & alcohol use, & challenges accessing health services. #ActOnNCDs aihw.gov.au/reports/rural-…

In our wider Pacific region, #NCDs are also at crisis levels, the leading cause of death & illness, undermining regional prosperity, security & development. In 2014 Pacific countries endorsed a joint NCD Roadmap to halt & reverse the crisis. #ActOnNCDs 🔗forumsec.org/publications/p…

Stubbornly high #ChronicDisease death & illness means joining forces to tackle common harmful #NCDs determinants & risk factors is essential. People, organisations, communities & countries working together to #ActOnNCDs strengthens our capacity to #LeadOnNCDs. @ACDPAlliance
Dr Sandro Demaio@SandroDemaio

Chronic disease, or NCDs, cause 87% of deaths in the Western Pacific Region. Action to address the structural and systemic drivers of chronic disease has never been more urgent. Great to learn from @WHOWPRO colleagues and health leaders now, and share the work of @VicHealth.

It's critical to look at factors that shape lives. Social, economic, commercial and other conditions and circumstances can directly influence health and can amplify #NCDs risks. Harmful determinants can make being healthy difficult. @AIHW: aihw.gov.au/reports/austra… #ActOnNCDs

Known major risk factors for #ChronicDisease in Australia are #Tobacco use, #Overweight & #Obesity, #Dietary risks, high #BloodPressure, #Alcohol use & #PhysicalInactivity. Climate extremes and air pollution are also recognised risks. #ActOnNCDs aihw.gov.au/reports-data/a…

Up to 40% of Australia's disease burden is preventable. That may not mean stopping disease from developing in the first place, but it may lessen a its impact and severity, and improve a person's quality of life. #Prevention benefits everyone. #ActOnNCDs aihw.gov.au/reports-data/a…

Chronic conditions can impact anyone. Having one condition or disability can also increase risk of other chronic conditions, and complicate treatment and care, necessitating both population and targeted approaches to NCD prevention and management. #ActOnNCDs

#MentalHealth conditions are also chronic conditions, and often co-exist with other chronic conditions or #NCDs. 🟡More than 3/5 people live with a long-term condition. 🔵Nearly 2/5 people live with more than one long-term condition. Via @AIHW aihw.gov.au/reports/austra… #ActOnNCDs
