By 2040, 1.4 million Dutch citizens will have had strokes or
heart failure. This was predicted by the
RIVM, the National Institute for Public Health and Environment. By 2011 this figure had already reached
850,000. Part of this huge increase is
preventable. If everyone stops smoking
this would reduce the figure by 320,000.
If everyone maintains optimal blood pressure levels, this also would reduce
the figure, by a predicted 360,000.
