This morning at the @Europarl_EN: MEPs @MAC_MEPs @DacianaSarbu, Commission @EU_Health @EU_ENV, @OECD, and civil society @EU_CDA11 are drawing EU's attention to invest in chronic disease prevention and management. xitter.cf/EU_CDA11/status/996671…
M. Seychell @EU_Health: #chronicdisease & #health need to be kept high on the political agenda. All Member States have clear commitments to reach the UN targets by 2030. Implementation of good practices & existing recs is the main focus.

Most #EU member states are going to miss #SDG targets on chronic disease says Martin Seychell @EU_CDA11 #EnoughNCDs. EU good at identifying potential best practices but less good at implementing them.

Hear hear @WHO: how about updating your video on air pollution and health impacts, which omits entirely COPD youtube.com/watch?v=GVBeY1jS…? xitter.cf/UKHealthClimate/status…
Indoor and outdoor #airpollution both have strong links to COPD. People who are regularly exposed to air pollution also have a higher risk of getting COPD.

COPD: disease or syndrome?
"COPD is not just one single entity, but rather a complex and heterogeneous one that may result from different causative agents that run different clinical courses and may benefit from some common therapies" openres.ersjournals.com/cont…
Fitness in childhood linked to healthy lungs in adulthood
Children who are fitter and whose fitness improves during childhood and adolescence have better lung function as young adults, according to a large study published in the ERJ

It is interesting to note that WHO hardly ever communicates on COPD but @EU_Commission is now: environment Commissioner mentions COPD when talking about air quality xitter.cf/freshairteam/status/95…
Don’t forget chronic lung diseases. See our work in #Uganda ipcrg.org/freshair xitter.cf/who/status/90835645924…
