SDG 3 - KF Non Communicable diseases

Four focus non-communicable diseases

-Cardiovascular diseases

-Cancers

-Respiratory diseases

-Diabetes

KF - Reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases

Reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases that are due to environmental and lifestyle factors.

Why is Reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases is a KF

-Deaths account for 74% of deaths globally

-Account for a very high BOD

-Global marketing has caused increases in unhealthy behaviours

-Obesity increasing globally (main risk factor of NCDs)

-More people moving to cities = pollution from heavy traffic, poor housing, and limited access to water and sanitation services bring about significant health and wellbeing risks

Why is it a kf (Deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemical and air, water, and soil pollution and contamination)

-More than 12 million people die each year from diseases associated with environmental hazards

-One in four deaths worldwide

-22% of global DALYs attributed to environmental risks can be prevented

-Children under five and and adults aged 50-75 are at the greatest risk

Air pollution (indoor and outdoor), water pollution

All part of Deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemical and air, water, and soil pollution and contamination

How to reduce kf (Deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemical and air, water, and soil pollution and contamination))

-Monitor air pollution levels
