“…Indeed, tobacco smoking is a common risk factor for many NCDs and as such the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Alliance against Chronic Respiratory Diseases (GARD) has initiatives to reduce tobacco consumption. Other initiatives work on issues directly related to respiratory conditions, such as medication access and reduction in occupational and allergenic exposure 47,48 . In Brazil, initiatives to tackle NCDs emphasize the efforts to improve policies to reduce tobacco use 49 .…”

Introduction: In Brazil, little is known about the trends of chronic respiratory diseases, which was estimated as the third leading cause of deaths in 2017 worldwide. Methods: We analyzed Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 estimates for prevalence, incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), a summary measure of years of life lost (YLLs) and years lived with disability (YLDs), and risk factors attributable to chronic respiratory diseases in Brazil from 1990 to 2017. Results: The overall estimates have decreased for all ages and both sexes, and for age-standardized rates. For age-adjusted prevalence, there was a 21% reduction, and nearly 16% reduction for incidence. There was a 42% reduction in mortality for both sexes, though the rate of deaths for men was 30% greater than the rate in women. The increase in the number of DALY was essentially due to the population growth and population ageing. We observed a 34% increase in the absolute number of DALY in Brazil over the study period. The majority of the DALY rates were due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). For all ages and both sexes, smoking was the main attributable risk factor. Conclusion: In Brazil, although mortality, prevalence and incidence for chronic respiratory diseases have decreased over the years, attention should be taken to the DALYs increase. Smoking remained as the main risk factor, despite the significant decrease of tobacco use, reinforcing the need for maintenance of policies and programs directed at its cessation.

“…GARD strategy complements global strategies to prevent and control other NCDs such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and cancer (3). Since GARD was launched in Brazil in 2006 there have been several advances towards controlling CRD, including strengthening the capacity of doctors and nurses to manage CRD in primary care (4).…”

Abstract: Portugal, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Turkey, GARD has played a significant role in assisting the development of national CRD programmes. However, in other countries GARDsupported activities are more limited, being either diseasespecific or restricted to certain geographical regions.
