Ukraine faces a high prevalence of non-communicable diseases, which cause 91% of all mortality inthe country. The most common among them are cardiovascular diseases, which account for 67% ofall deaths. This is a serious problem that we must solve together.
During June, the «Zhyttia» team has already held four roundtables in Rivne, Lviv, Poltava and Dniprowith the participation of representatives of local governments, government agencies, the medicalcommunity and the public. The main goal of this campaign is to inform Ukrainians about behavioralrisk factors for cardiovascular diseases and offer healthy behavioral models, especially for men aged 35 and older.
Smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease. We want to prevent these risk factors, so by the end of 2023, we aim to raise awareness among Ukrainians and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Changing our habits can be a challenge, but together we can make a significant contribution to improving our health and longevity.
