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.Heart DiseasesepidemiologyGlobal HealthHealth PromotionStrokeepidemiologyRisk FactorsHeart Diseasesepidemiology.Global Health.Health Promotion.Strokeepidemiology.Risk Factors.616.12Mackay Judith1607641Mensah George AWorld Health OrganizationWorld Health OrganizationPQKBBOOK9910813447803321The atlas of heart disease and stroke3934004UNINA
