Reduced healthy life expectancy due to the high burden of both mental ill health and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) is a major public health concern in the European Region. The links between mental disorders and major NCDs are well established.
In clinical practice, however, mental disorders in pa...tients with NCDs as well as NCDs in patients with mental disorders are often overlooked. Premature mortality and disability could be reduced if there were a greater focus on comorbidity.
This report addresses the needs of adults of working age with mental health problems – those with common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety and those with more severe conditions such as schizophrenia and bi-polar affective disorder. It also addresses the needs of those with NCDs, specifically cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes mellitus.

Gesundheit ist nicht nur Voraussetzung für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben, sondern auch essenziell für die gesellschaftliche und nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in unseren Partnerländern. Die gegenwärtige COVID-19 Pandemie zeigt, welche Gefahren von Infektionskrankheiten ausge...-hen. Der Erreger der Pandemie SARS-CoV-2 gibt auch einen Hinweis auf die Bedeutung zoono-tischer, also zwischen Tier und Mensch übertragbarer, Krankheiten. Es ist zu erwarten, dass diese Art von Erregern in der Zukunft noch häufiger auftreten wird. Eine wachsende Weltbevölkerung, Klimawandel, steigende Mobilität, Vordringen des Menschen in bisher unberührte Lebensräume, industrielle Landwirtschaft und Nutztierhaltung sind Faktoren, die das Risiko für das Entstehen bzw. für eine schnelle Ausbreitung von Krankheitserregern erhöhen
