For most people on earth, most of risk factors to ischemic heart diseases, cerebrovasucular diseases, and some of malignant neoplasm are believed to be in every day's our own lives. In other words, people's lifestyle is key issue to prevent such diseases above, which are dominant causes of death in many countries and regions in the world, especially in industrialized countries. That is why Health Promoting School is important today, because most of risk factors to the human chronic diseases are affected by health education and promotion. In 1990s, some countries adopted Health Promoting School as pilot studies. WHO has been providing many educational materials as well as making important policies related to Health Promoting School, including WHO's Global School Health Initiative.
