RESUMEN
La promoción de estilos de vida saludables comprende la creación de ambientes favorables como una actividad clave en la salud pública, la reorientación de la atención sanitaria a la población para garantizar un desarrollo sostenible, la lucha contra las enfermedades infecciosas, la desnutrición y los factores ambientales desfavorables como la carencia de agua potable, saneamiento básico y seguridad alimentaria; la contaminación atmosférica por la industrialización, el calentamiento global y las conductas de riesgo como las adicciones, la obesidad y otras. En diversos países de América Latina y el Caribe se incumplen muchas de las acciones para lograr entornos saludables por no promoverse suficientemente la educación para la salud, de manera que se impone insistir una y otra vez sobre ello(AU)
ABSTRACT
The promotion of healthy lifestyles comprises the creation of favorable atmospheres as a key activity in the public health, reorientation of health care for the population to guarantee a sustainable development, fight against infectious diseases, malnutrition and unfavorable environmental factors as lack of drinkable water, basic cleaning up and alimentary security; pollution due to industrialization, global warming and risk behaviors as addictions, obesity and others. In several Latin American and Caribbean countries many of the actions to achieve healthy environments are not fulfilled because health education is not sufficiently promoted, so it is imperative to insist one time and another on this matter(AU)
