xi, 64 p. ; Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) contributed to nearly 90% of deaths in Belgium over the decade to 2019 and 40% of these deaths were attributed to modifiable risk factors. Health inequities have worsened over time. This report has analysed trends for the main NCDs and associated risk factors to identify the main challenges and future policy considerations to reduce the NCD burden and related health inequities. The policy considerations include adopting a Health in All Policies approach to prioritize and support health and well-being within all sectors, not just the health sector, thus providing a supportive environment to make the healthy choice the easier choice, promoting an economy of well-being to build trust and accountability across sectors and monitoring and evaluating policies to leave no one behind.
