(Social Inclusion, Healthy Lifestyles and Work Ability)
3 sub-groups:
Alcohol (ADO)
Adolescents and Socially- Rewarding Lifestyles (ALC)
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)

4. Average life-expectancy is mainly a reflection of unhealthy lifestyles.
In Europe the estimated number of deaths (2005) from non-communicable
diseases was 8.2 million people (all deaths were 9.6 million). NCDs make
77% of all deaths (source WHO-EURO 2006).

5. About 120 dead in alcohol poisoning every day in Russia
Liver chirrosis mortality in Finland
rose from 500 to 2000 = x 4!
from in 2006

6. YOU NEED BOTH! You the politicians have created the problem!
You have the power to decide on the price of alcohol and tobacco. Why is healthy food so expensive?
You people! You should behave yourselves. Drink less, don’t smoke, don’t eat fatty stuff
It is always easier
To blame the other!
Health centers will give you broshyres.
My party will give
100 € for that!
YOU NEED BOTH!
