Policies, Interventions and Actions

Commercial Determinants of Noncommunicable Diseases in the WHO European Region

This report highlights the substantial impact of commercial determinants on noncommunicable diseases (‎NCDs)‎ in the WHO European Region. Nearly 7500 deaths per day in the Region are attributed to commercial determinants, such as tobacco, alcohol,processed food, fossil fuels and occupational practices. These commercial products and practices contribute to 25% of all deaths in the Region. The report’s chapters systematically explore various facets of how commercial interests exacerbate NCDs and key strategies used by commercial actors to negatively influence NCD-related policies at the national and international level. The reportalso provides selected case studies from the Region to illustrate key strategies and outcomes of industry influence on health policies.The report then calls for urgent and coordinated action to address the commercial determinants of NCDs. It advocates for building coalitions based on the values of equity, sustainability, and resilience. Public health actors are urged to develop competencies in economic and legal frameworks, enforce transparency, and manage conflicts of interest effectively. The report underscores the need for robust financial reforms and strict regulation to curb industry power and protect public health. By implementing these strategies, the Region can accelerate progress towards global NCD targets and Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

European practical and patient-centred guidelines for adult obesity management in primary care

This article aims to provide obesity management guidelines specifically tailored to GPs, favouring a practical patient-centred approach. The focus is on GP communication and motivational interviewing as well as on therapeutic patient education. The new guidelines highlight the importance of avoiding stigmatization, something frequently seen in different health care settings. In addition, managing the psychological aspects of the disease, such as improving self-esteem, body image and quality of life must not be neglected.

Snack & Chill

The principle of the project is simple: offering healthy, affordable snacks and drinks in a cozy setting . Think of: seasonal fruits and vegetables and water, with or without a taste. The framework? This can be a school shop, a nicely decorated school bar or a simply decorated table ... Schools decide for themselves how much time they spend. Pupils participate! Students are heard and involved in this project. Schools that want to know what their students think about this project can present them with our short online questionnaire . In this way, they immediately see whether the students are open to the project and whether they are willing to help, for example to make the school bar or to sell snacks. A school can also hold different classes responsible for making and / or operating the shop. Schools complete the project as they wish, depending on their own capacity.

School Fruit, Vegetables and Milk Scheme

"Applicable since 1 August 2017, the EU school fruit, vegetables and milk scheme combines two previous schemes (the school fruit and vegetables scheme and the school milk scheme) under a single legal framework for more efficiency and an enhanced focus on health and educational. The scheme supports the distribution of products, educational measures and information measures. The scheme supports the distribution of fruit, vegetables, milk and certain milk products to schoolchildren, from nursery to secondary school. EU countries approve a list of products (in collaboration with their health and nutrition authorities) which will help achieve the schemes objective of helping children to follow a healthy diet. Priority is for fresh fruit and vegetables and for plain milk. In order to support a varied diet and/or specific nutritional needs, EU countries may also make processed fruit and vegetables such as juices and soups and certain milk products such as yoghurt and cheese, available. Additionally, under stricter conditions, milk-based drinks may be included." - EU Commission

The Belgian Pledge

"Since 2012, the Belgian Pledge has been the food sector's answer to the justified demand for responsible advertising to children. With this self-regulatory initiative, participating food companies, traders, restaurant chains and caterers are making clear commitments regarding advertising to children under 12 years of age. Moreover, these commitments respond to the rapidly changing media use of children. In 2017, for example, the scope of responsible advertising expanded to include social media channels and, since 2020, online influencers have also been included in the scope."

What is Healthy in the workplace? A healthy lifestyle is all too often considered as an individual choice, but the environment exerts at least as much influence on people's choices. After all, health and work are closely linked and influence each other. Work has an impact on the health of the working population and the health of the population has an impact on work ability and on the employment rate.
