Abstract
The main principle behind the slogan ‘Health in All Policies’ is really very simple: Health is greatly influenced by lifestyles and environments, e.g. how people live, work, eat and drink, move, spend their leisure time etc. These are not only individual choices, but they often have strong social, cultural, economical, environmental etc. determinants.1 Accordingly, decisions influencing people's health do not concern only health services or ‘health policies’, but decisions in many different policy areas have their influence on these health determinants.Keywords
