How will the main risk factors contribute to the burden of non-communicable diseases under different scenarios by 2050? A modelling study
The future burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) depends on numerous factors such as population ageing, evolution of societal trends, behavioural and physiological risk factors of individuals (e.g. smoking, alcohol use, obesity, physical inactivity, and hypertension). This study aims to assess the burden of NCDs in Europe by 2050 under alternative scenarios. ; Funding: FRESHER ("FoResight and Modelling far European Health policy and Regulation") is an interdisciplinary research project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 643576 far a duration of 36 months (2015-2018).
