(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, tuberculosis and hepatitis, the Programme will contribute to prevent diseases and promote good health, also bearing in mind underlying factors of a social and environmental nature.
