“…Marketing is essential to obtaining continued funding for projects and programmes in chronic diseases, and to better delivering information and interventions to the target populations 26. In all cases, marketing must be based on solid facts and arguments, such as demonstration of likely cost effectiveness, as well as interest, relevance and application 27.…”

Building a basis for action using the seven themes articulated, especially by incorporating innovative ideas, we presented here, can help enhance global capacity in chronic disease surveillance, prevention and control. Informed initiatives can help achieve the new World Health Organization global goal of reducing chronic disease death rates by 2% annually, generate new ideas for effective interventions and ultimately bring global chronic diseases under greater control.

“…Surveillance is also a science. There are certain basic scientific principles that must be upheld through all aspects, components and stages of data collection, analysis, interpretation, and information dissemination (65,86,87). This view parallels the standard piano techniques and music theories that one must learn to become a good pianist.…”

“…However, it has been found that the increase in average life expectancy does not necessarily equate to an increase in years lived in good health. From the perspective of life cycle epidemiology (4)(5)(6), aging is largely determined by the lifestyles one adopts throughout life. In addition to individual factors, indirect factorssuch as organizational, community and political factors that support individual behavioralso contribute to these lifestyles (7), and the social environment has a predominant role (3).…”

BackgroundIt is important to characterize the functioning of elderly adults in different care contexts and evaluate their suitability to the condition of the elderly population. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the functional profiles of institutionalized and noninstitutionalized older adults; to evaluate the effect of biological and sociodemographic factors on the determination of functional profiles and to evaluate the probability of an older adults obtaining a certain overall functional profile based on his/her age.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study that included 476 participants over 65 years old who were divided into two groups: noninstitutionalized elderly living in their homes and attending day care centers (100) and institutionalized elderly living in nursing homes (376). The data were collected using the semi-structured interview method and it was applied the Elderly Nursing Core Set. ResultsThe Elderly Nursing Core Set model tested consisted of 22 items in five domains: “Self-Care - Activities of daily living (a)”; “Self-Care - Activities of daily living (b)”; “Mental Functions”; “Communication” and “Support and Relationships”. Women, older participants, illiterate elderly and institutionalized participants had worse functional profile results.ConclusionsAge, female sex, lack of education, and institutionalization are negatively related to the functional profile. Given the association between education level and functioning, it is necessary to promote the training of elderly individuals throughout life. The implementation of social and health responses should allow elderly individuals to remain in their homes, given the influence of functioning on self-care and quality of life.
