The present report discusses challenges and issues related to health promotion and public health in Norway. Although the average Norwegian enjoys good health and a high standard of living, there are considerable social inequalities in health and life expectancy. The current state of health – and tomorrow’s health challenges – are largely related to how people live their lives and how society is organised.
This report discusses how these challenges may be met, suggests measures and argues that we must act now to ensure the health and welfare of future generations.
