National fedmerisiko *7/10This is a composite ‘obesity risk’ score (out of 10, the highest risk) based on obesity prevalence, rate of increase, likelihood of meeting the 2025 target, treatment indicator and childhood stunting levels.Risiko for fedme i barndommen *7,5/11This is a ‘risk score’ for each country’s likelihood of having or acquiring a major childhood obesity problem during the 2020s, taking account of current prevalence levels and risk for future obesity (based on stunting among infants, maternal obesity, maternal smoking, and breastfeeding rates).

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.

Integrated Strategy for the Promotion of Healthy Eating (EIPAS)

The main focus of the strategy is addressing health holistically and tackle NCDs through healthier eating. The strategy looks at the main nutritional issues the Portuguese population is facing, in particular the excess consumption of High Fat Salt and Sugar (HFSS) foods, while pushing for the promotion of a more traditional and healthier Mediterranean diet. Its proposals were agreed to be implemented by various ministries, to reflect WHO obligations to integrate "health in all policies". Main objectives include creating healthier food environments, promoting the reformulation of certain categories of HFSS food, promoting and developing consumer literacy for healthy food choices from a young age and promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in the area of promotion of healthy eating.

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

Procurement standards for the Operational Program to Support the Most Deprived (POAPMC)

Established in 2017, the Operational Program to Support the Most Deprived (POAPMC) distributes food to the most deprived people, reaching more than 80,000 beneficiaries, distributed among several regions. The POAPMC food baskets aim to ensure 50% of the daily energy and nutritional requirements of the beneficiaries. The POAPMC collaborates with the National Program for the Promotion of Healthy Eating (PNPAS) to ensure that the food supply is nutritionally adequate in accordance with the food-based dietary guidelines for the Portuguese population, known as the “Roda dos Alimentos” (Food Wheel) (see "I – Development and communication of food-based dietary guidelines"). In 2019, a series of measures to ensure variety in food baskets and minimise food waste were added. As a result, foods that are usually not present in the food aid models, such as varied meats, fish and vegetables, were included.
