Nutrition, physical activity and NCD prevention policy brief

WCRF International chairs the NCD Alliance Nutrition, Physical Activity and NCD Prevention working group, which launched an expert policy briefing paper to support global advocacy efforts surrounding the UN Summit on NCDs.

The paper sets out key recommendations for global and national action to help reduce rates of the major NCDs (cancer, heart disease, diabetes and lung disease) around the world by improving diets and physical activity levels.

A more comprehensive extended briefing paper with supporting evidence and full references, on which the new policy briefing is based, is also available.

Members of the working group:

World Cancer Research Fund International (Chair)
Union for International Cancer Control
International Diabetes Federation
World Heart Federation
National Heart Forum
International Obesity Task Force
