Chronic conditions are again the leading cause of illness & death in Australia, & around 36% of the burden could be prevented or reduced.
A new @AIHW dashboard gives greater clarity on priorities to accelerate progress toward 2030 goals for better health.

Every year in Australia, millions of years of healthy life are lost due to injury, illness, or premature deaths. This loss of healthy life is called the 'burden of disease'.

In 2024, 36% of Australia's disease burden was potentially preventable by reducing or avoiding key risk factors. While eliminating all burden is impossible, prevention offers significant potential to reduce it.

First Nations people's health is improving, but disease burden is 2.3X higher than non-Indigenous Australians. 2/3 of the health gap is from #NCDs incl mental health, diabetes, cardiovascular & kidney disease, & vision, hearing & oral conditions #ActOnNCDs aihw.gov.au/reports/australi…

Addressing 11 #social & #risk factors, like employment, income & education, & smoking, weight & nutrition, could help close the #HealthGap by two thirds.
Culturally appropriate services, connection to country & tackling racism would further help #ActOnNCDs aihw.gov.au/reports/australi…

Burden of #ChronicDisease increases with remoteness. Per @ABSStats data, people living in rural, regional & remote Australia experience more harmful determinants & risk factors like tobacco & alcohol use, & challenges accessing health services. #ActOnNCDs aihw.gov.au/reports/rural-re…

In our wider Pacific region, #NCDs are also at crisis levels, the leading cause of death & illness, undermining regional prosperity, security & development.
In 2014 Pacific countries endorsed a joint NCD Roadmap to halt & reverse the crisis. #ActOnNCDs 🔗forumsec.org/publications/pa…

Stubbornly high #ChronicDisease death & illness means joining forces to tackle common harmful #NCDs determinants & risk factors is essential.
People, organisations, communities & countries working together to #ActOnNCDs strengthens our capacity to #LeadOnNCDs. @ACDPAlliance

Chronic disease, or NCDs, cause 87% of deaths in the Western Pacific Region.
Action to address the structural and systemic drivers of chronic disease has never been more urgent.
Great to learn from @WHOWPRO colleagues and health leaders now, and share the work of @VicHealth.

It's critical to look at factors that shape lives.
Social, economic, commercial and other conditions and circumstances can directly influence health and can amplify #NCDs risks.
Harmful determinants can make being healthy difficult.

Up to 40% of Australia's disease burden is preventable. That may not mean stopping disease from developing in the first place, but it may lessen a its impact and severity, and improve a person's quality of life.

Chronic conditions can impact anyone.
Having one condition or disability can also increase risk of other chronic conditions, and complicate treatment and care, necessitating both population and targeted approaches to NCD prevention and management.

#MentalHealth conditions are also chronic conditions, and often co-exist with other chronic conditions or #NCDs.
🟡More than 3/5 people live with a long-term condition.
