Recital 10
(10) In the context of an ageing society, well-directed investments to promote health and prevent diseases can increase the number of ‘'healthy life years’' and thus enable the elderly to continue working as they grow older. Chronic diseases are responsible for over 80% of premature mortality in the EU. By identifying, disseminating and promoting the up-take of validated best practices for cost-effective prevention measures focused on the key risk factors, namely smoking, abuse of alcohol and obesity, as well as on HIV/AIDS, the Programme will contribute to prevent diseases and promote good health, operating within a gender-sensitive framework, also bearing in mind underlying factors of a social and environmental nature.

(10a) In addition to differences related to reproductive functions, biological differences between women and men also include, for example, the better infant survival rates of females, sex-specific diseases, distinctions in symptoms of diseases, or women's longer life expectancy, which in combination with existing social factors embodied by gender inequalities such as lesser access to resources, heavier workload, gender- based violence against women and gender-based discrimination, significantly affect the health status of women and therefore call for an adequate integration of gender as a determinant of health into public health policies.
