Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Chile has experienced rapid epidemiological transitions characterized by decreasing infant mortality, population aging, and a shift towards obesity with an increase in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Today, tobacco, alcohol, and ultraprocessed foods are the main risk factors for these diseases. Based on Chile’s experience in tobacco control, we discuss paths to make progress in population evidence-based strategies to improve overall community health.
