abstract: Non-communicable diseases (NCD) have become the leading causes of death in Europe. Non-communicable diseases can cause long-term healthcare costs, related disabilities and premature death, which all have social and economic consequences and burdens. It is estimated that a large portion of NCDs are avoidable, because they can be related to lifestyle risk factors. Smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diets and physical inactivity, resulting in obesity, are the main lifestyle risk factors that contribute to increased mortality in Europe. This research shows that these lifestyle risk factors have contributed significantly to both mortality rates and loss of years in life expectancy in Western Europe.
