Risk factors

The Australian Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance (ACDPA) contributes to national policy discussions by providing an independent voice advocating for policy that recognises the value of prevention.

​

ACDPA develops evidence-based policies and recommendations through position statements and submissions to government, focusing on prevention, integrated risk assessment and effective management of chronic disease risk.

​

We focus on risk factors where there has been limited progress in reducing risk and we have a supporting role for other major risk factors.

• Nutrition

• Physical activity

• Overweight and obesity

• Sugary drinks

• High blood pressure

• Alcohol

• Smoking

• Mental health

​

We also work to increase risk assessment, early detection and management of risk through integrated health checks.
