Change 1

ChangedB. whereas CVDs and their associated risk factors are highly prevalent and have a significant impact on health and quality of life, as well as major economic and social consequences; whereas cardiovascular health therefore constitutes a major public health and societal challenge in the EU, since CVDs remain the leading cause of mortality in the EU, accounting for approximately 1.71,7 million deaths each year; whereas in the EU, 62 million people live with the burden of CVDs, and close to 13 million new cases of CVDs occur every year; whereas environmental risks are estimated to cause over 18 % of cardiovascular disease-related deaths in Europe; whereas CVDs are associated with significant morbidity, disability, reduced quality of life and capacity for independent living, losses in productivity, increased risk of complications from infectious diseases and an estimated annual economic cost of EUR 282 billion; whereas an estimated 80 % of CVDs are preventable;

Change 4

Changed113. Highlights that women living with diabetes and other metabolic diseases are, on average, diagnosed up to 4.54,5 years later than men; emphasises that this delay in diagnosis increases women’s risk of cardiovascular mortality by approximately 30 %; stresses that delayed diagnosis results in delayed access to timely and appropriate care, further increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications and exacerbating existing cardiovascular health inequalities among women;

AI: Note on change 4 · formal Written by AI from the official text — check the source · deepseek-flash · 17 Sept 2026
