Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than
40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is
rising, particularly in low- and middleincome countries (LMICs).
Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include
significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these
conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control
measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can
be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented,
detected, and managed. This volume summarises current knowledge and
presents evidence-based interventions that are effective,
cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.

The substantial burden of death and disability that results from
interpersonal violence, road traffic injuries, unintentional
injuries, occupational health risks, air pollution, climate change,
and inadequate water and sanitation falls disproportionally on low-
and middle-income countries. Injury Prevention and Environmental
Health addresses the risk factors and presents updated data on the
burden, as well as economic analyses of platforms and packages for
delivering cost-effective and feasible interventions in these
settings. The volume's contributors demonstrate that implementation
of a range of prevention strategies-presented in an essential
package of interventions and policies-could achieve a convergence
in death and disability rates that would avert more than 7.5
million deaths a year.
