TL;DR: The Lancet NCD Action Group and the NCD Alliance propose five overarching priority actions for the response to the crisis and the delivery of five priority interventions--tobacco control, salt reduction, improved diets and physical activity, reduction in hazardous alcohol intake, and essential drugs and technologies.

TL;DR: This paper assess the eff ectiveness of self-regulation, public-private partnerships, and public regulation models of interaction with unhealthy commodity industries and conclude that unhealthy commodity industry should have no role in the formation of national or international NCD policy.

TL;DR: Rises in unemployment are associated with significant short-term increases in premature deaths from intentional violence, while reducing traffic fatalities, and active labour market programmes that keep and reintegrate workers in jobs could mitigate some adverse health effects of economic downturns.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present quantitative estimates of the epidemiological and economic impact of obesity and diabetes on developing countries, and stress the importance of creating a roadmap to guide the development of comprehensive policies involving governments and private companies.
Abstract: Overweight and obesity, the main drivers of type 2 diabetes, have long been regarded as health risks associated with affluence. Over the last decade, profound changes in the quality, quantity and source of food consumed in many developing countries, combined with a decrease in levels of physical activity among the population, have led to an increase in the prevalence of diabetes and its complications. Here, we present quantitative estimates of the epidemiological and economic impact of obesity and diabetes on developing countries. We provide the economic rationale for public policy action. We stress the importance of creating a roadmap to guide the development of comprehensive policies involving governments and private companies, and emphasize the need for experimentation in building the evidence while testing theories.

TL;DR: Objective and subjective measures of physical activity give qualitatively similar results regarding gender and age patterns of activity, however, adherence to physical activity recommendations according to accelerometer-measured activity is substantially lower than according to self-report.
Abstract: Purpose:To describe physical activity levels of children (6-11 yr), adolescents (12-19 yr), and adults (20+ yr), using objective data obtained with accelerometers from a representative sample of the U.S. population.Methods:These results were obtained from the 2003-2004 National Health and Nu

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the effect of physical inactivity on these major non-communicable diseases by estimating how much disease could be averted if inactive people were to become active and to estimate gain in life expectancy at the population level.
