1 The main indicators of the WHO Global Monitoring Framework (GMF) on Noncommunicable Diseases 2016 In the spotlight diabetes, target indicators

2 Preface Noncommunicable diseases (NCD) are major public health threats in the European Region with effects extending beyond health, impacting economic and societal development. Four major groups of NCD, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases, are responsible for the largest share of disease burden, including premature and avoidable death, morbidity and disability. These NCD also share common risk factors, e.g. tobacco use, harmful alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and obesity, making them a target for health promotion, prevention and control. The NCD are considered strategic priorities for action of the World Health Organization (WHO) and its Member States, as reflected in the 2012 Global Action Plan for the prevention and control of Noncommunicable Diseases and its Global Monitoring Framework, with nine voluntary targets and twenty-five indicators. Additionally, in 2014 the United Nations (UN) General Assembly proposed strengthening progress on the implementation of high-impact cost-effective interventions on NCD and setting four time-bound commitments, including defined indicators. Further recognizing NCD relevance, in 2015 the UN proposed the inclusion of a specific health target with NCD indicators in the Sustainable Development Goals , while considering involvement of other healthrelated ones in the monitoring framework. Moreover, at the European regional level, the Health 2020 policy framework includes 6 targets and 21 core health indicators, among which are several NCDrelated ones. The above mandates highlight the need for improved availability, quality and timeliness of country information to allow monitoring progress on such targets. A requisite for planning and evaluation for NCD prevention and control is the assessment of data on disease situation and trends, their risk factors and the response of the health system. Assembling and analyzing such information demands comprehensive integration of data from many sources, a challenge in some countries. The WHO Regional Office for Europe, through its NCD Project Office in Moscow, is supporting Member States to improve their capacity to present and interpret their NCD data in a manner suitable for policy-making. When required, assistance is also provided for strengthening data availability through survey implementation, disease registries functioning and compilation of other relevant information, to achieving Health 2020 and the time-bound UN NCD review of Furthermore, the Regional Office is monitoring current conditions and changes on NCD in its Member States, as well as progress towards global and regional targets. This is done jointly with other WHO technical units, for example, through collaboration in the European Health Information Gateway, where multiple European health databases and other related information resources are compiled in the Web. We are pleased to present The main indicators of the WHO Global Monitoring Framework (GMF) on Noncommunicable Diseases 2016, which exemplifies the joint effort of WHO and its Member States to offer recently available, comparable and policy-relevant NCD information. This set of data and graphs come from diverse WHO sources and altogether provide an account of the status and progress of key indicators, highlighted in colour, in countries of the European Region. Also, selected diabetes-related indicators are presented in a section to showcase the relevance of this special topic in the Region. We expect that this publication will become a useful tool for policy-makers, public health professionals and other interested users. Gauden Galea Director

11 Technical notes The WHO Global Monitoring Framework (GMF) on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) includes 9 voluntary targets for prevention and control by 2025 and 25 indicators for monitor progress. To facilitate identification, GMF indicators are marked in a colour, while those on diabetes mellitus (the special topic), are coloured differently. Mortality from major NCD and cancer incidence (indicators 5, 12) are based on WHO European Mortality and Health for All databases ( and Probability of dying (indicator 6) shows the percentage of 30-year-old-people who would die before their 70th birthday from any of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease and was calculated using cause-specific mortality rates in standard life table methods. Recorded alcohol per capita consumption (indicator 21) is defined as the recorded amount of alcohol consumed per capita (15+ years) over a calendar year in a country, in litres of pure alcohol. Heavy episodic drinking (indicators 22 23) is defined as the proportion of adults (15+ years) who have had at least 60 grams or more of pure alcohol on at least one occasion in the past 30 days. Prevalence of current smoking of any tobacco product (indicator 25) by persons aged 15 years and above, resulting from analysis of the full set of adult tobacco use surveys. Prevalence of raised blood pressure (indicator 28) is a percent of defined population with raised blood pressure (systolic blood pressure 140 OR diastolic blood pressure 90). Prevalence of raised total cholesterol (indicator 29) is a percent of defined population with total cholesterol 190 mg/dl (5.0 mmol/l). Immunization coverage (indicator 30) is the percentage of oneyear-olds who have received three doses of hepatitis B vaccine in a given year. Prevalence of raised fasting blood glucose (indicator 36) is a percent of defined population with fasting glucose 126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l) or on medication for raised blood glucose. Prevalence of overweight, Body Mass Index 25 (indicator 37) is a percentage of defined population with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m 2 or higher.
