Common non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Finland, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases result in significant losses in human and economic terms. Such diseases can be reduced appreciably by influencing their common risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol use, diet and lack of physical activity... The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set the objective of reducing mortality in people under 70 years old from common NCDs in WHO member states by 25 per cent by 2025. The member states will report to the WHO on how they will reach this objective.
