Prevention of noncommunicable diseases as an opportunity to increase life expectancy and healthy longevity

Abstract
The reduction of morbidity and mortality from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in young and middle-aged populations leads to an increase in life expectancy (LE) at birth and, consequently, to an increase in the population, to a greater extent, in the older age groups. At the same time, the probability of premature deaths from NCDs is largely related to the household income levels and health care expenditures per person.
With high levels of income and health care expenditures (more than $1,000, per person per year) there is a low (less than 10% probability of premature deaths) from NCDs and high, 80+ years, rates of LE. Reducing the probability of premature deaths from NCDs leads to the preservation of human capital, increasing of government revenues and, consequently, possibility to provide for maintaining of public health, development and use of effective technologies for the prevention and control of NCDs.
