Description

Europe's heart and diabetes prevention needs a life-course reset, argues Sarah Cuschieri in a 2026 policy analysis. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes remain the top causes of early death in Europe despite decades of pledges and cheap, proven preventive tools.

Cuschieri points to early-life risk exposure, patchy surveillance, and care systems built around late treatment rather than prevention. Priority moves include weaving prevention across the lifespan, strengthening front-line and community services, funding equity-focused data, and scaling joint efforts such as JACARDI and JA PreventNCD. Accountability, she concludes, is the missing muscle behind existing ambition.
