July 2014. The future burden of obesity-related diseases in 53 WHO European-Region countries and the impact of effective interventions This project projected the future burden of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, type 2 diabetes and 7 cancers by 2030 in 53 WHO European Region countries based on current and past body mass index (BMI) trends. It also tested the impact of obesity interventions on the future disease burden. Modelling these future disease trends provides policymakers with a useful tool so that they can allocate resources effectively and implement policies to prevent NCDs. Back to our work ← June 2014.
