What factors contribute to the excessive mortality, ill health, and disability in Russia, particularly among working-age adults? What are the demographic, social, and economic consequences of this phenomenon? Most importantly, what can be done to reduce these burdens? This report shows that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries are the leading causes of death, illness, and disability in Russia, and assesses the factors associated with the onset of these conditions, the demographic, financial, and economic consequences of NCDs and injuries; summarizes relevant evidence and emerging lessons from international experience, proposes a comprehensive program for addressing this problem; and projects the health and economic gains that could result from such a program.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENTSADDICTIONADULT MENADULT MORTALITYADULT POPULATIONAGEDAGINGALCOHOLALCOHOL ABUSEALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONALCOHOLISMAUTOMOBILESAVERAGE AGEAVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCYBIRTHSCANCERSCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASECARDIOVASCULAR DISEASESCAUSE OF DEATHCAUSES OF DEATHCERVICAL CANCERCHRONIC ILLNESSCIGARETTE SMOKINGCIRCULATORY SYSTEMCIVIL SOCIETYCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCRASHESCRIMEDEATH RATEDEATHSDEMOGRAPHIC DATADEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONSDEMOGRAPHIC TRENDSDIABETESDRUG ABUSEDRUG ADDICTIONDRUG USEDRUG USERSECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC CONSEQUENCESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEXPENDITURESFAMILIESHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE COSTSHEALTH CARE REFORMHEALTH CONDITIONSHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH ISSUESHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH STATUSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTHY LIFESTYLEHEART DISEASEHIGH BLOOD PRESSUREHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSHYGIENEHYPERTENSIONILL HEALTHILL-HEALTHIMMUNODEFICIENCYIMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROMEINCREASE IN MORTALITYINFECTIOUS DISEASEINFECTIOUS DISEASE CONTROLINJURIESINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERVENTIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTHLIFESTYLESMALE POPULATIONMALESMATERNAL MORTALITYMEDICAL CAREMENTAL DISORDERSMIGRATIONMORBIDITYMORTALITYMORTALITY RATEMORTALITY RATESMOTOR VEHICLEMOTOR VEHICLESNEGATIVE IMPACTNEGATIVE POPULATION GROWTHNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSOBESITYPHYSICAL ACTIVITYPOPULATION DYNAMICSPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATESPOPULATION SIZEPOPULATION STRUCTUREPREMATURE MORTALITYPREVENTIVE MEDICINEPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC HEALTHQUALITY OF LIFEREPRODUCTIVE AGERISK FACTORRISK FACTORSROAD ACCIDENTSROAD SAFETYSEXSHORTENED LIFE EXPECTANCYSMOKERSSMOKINGSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUICIDETEENAGERSTOBACCOTOBACCO CONSUMPTIONTRAFFIC ACCIDENTSVICTIMSVIOLENCEWESTERN EUROPEYOUNG ADULTYOUNG MENYOUNG PERSONYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/8439
