Key result
Substantial reduction in the burden of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases is required to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goal target 3.4 of reducing premature NCD mortality by a third.
Why the study?
The UN Sustainable Development Goal target 3.4 to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases cannot be met without substantially reducing stroke and cardiovascular disease burden.
Highlights the potential role of digital solutions in reducing the global burden of stroke and cardiovascular diseases to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Prioritizes intensified stroke and CVD prevention to meet SDG 3.4; leaves open optimal regional strategies.
There is evidence that if the current trend in the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) burden continues, the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4 - to reduce premature mortality from NCDs by a third by 2030 - will not be met in most countries.1 As stroke and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide contributing the most to the NCDs mortality in nearly every country, SDG target 3.4 cannot be achieved without substantial reduction in the burden of stroke and other CVDs.
