Burden of disease from seven leading conditions in children aged 0-14 years (DALYs per 1000) in the WHO European Region, 2002 -- Definitions of the indicators included in the tables Summary A synthesis of evidence and analyses from WHO and other sources, the report identifies both noncommunicable diseases as the main cause of the burden of disease on the European Region, and communicable diseases as an additional burden on eastern countries, caused by poverty and underfunded health services. It shows that using well-known, comprehensive interventions to tackle the seven leading risk factors - tobacco, alcohol, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight, low fruit and vegetable intake, and physical inactivity - would largely prevent the seven leading conditions - ischaemic heart disease, unipolar depressive disorders, cerebrovascular disease, alcohol-use disorders, chronic pulmonary disease, lung cancer and road traffic injury. This creates a compelling argument for action Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Subject Health status indicators -- Europe Health status indicators -- Europe -- Statistics Child welfare -- Europe Health care reform -- Europe Medical policy -- Europe Lifestyles -- Health aspects -- Europe Public health -- Europe Health planning -- Europe Mortality.
