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

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…

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…

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

Australia's #prevention-focussed plan to improve health & wellbeing: ✅has made some progress on #NCDs, 😟needs more action & investment to achieve its goals, aims, & targets. Ahead of the 2025 #UNHLM let's take stock & do more to #LeadOnNCDs. 🔗health.gov.au/resources/publ… #ActOnNCDs

First Nations people's health is improving, but disease burden is 2.3X higher than non-Indigenous Australians. 2/3 of the health gap is from #NCDs incl mental health, diabetes, cardiovascular & kidney disease, & vision, hearing & oral conditions #ActOnNCDs aihw.gov.au/reports/austra…

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 Australian Bureau of Statistics 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. Australian Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance

Every year in Australia, millions of years of healthy life are lost due to injury, illness, or premature deaths. This loss of healthy life is called the 'burden of disease'. Read more in the Australian Burden of Disease Study 2024, released today 👉 brnw.ch/21wPlZ7

Today the AIHW has published a new, interactive monitoring dashboard to track progress against targets of two key strategies designed to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians. View the dashboard 👉 brnw.ch/21wPm4C

In 2024, 36% of Australia's disease burden was potentially preventable by reducing or avoiding key risk factors. While eliminating all burden is impossible, prevention offers significant potential to reduce it. Read more 👉 brnw.ch/21wPm4Y

Chronic conditions are again the leading cause of illness & death in Australia, & around 36% of the burden could be prevented or reduced. A new @AIHW dashboard gives greater clarity on priorities to accelerate progress toward 2030 goals for better health. acdpa.org.au/aihwboddashboa…
