Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Significant strides have been made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal mortality. Major progress has been made on increasing access to clean water and sanitation, reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS. However, many more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues.
Targets:
-
Reduce global maternal, neonatal and child mortality rate.
-
End epidemics of tropical diseases.

Increase average life span by promoting mental health and well-being.
-
Strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse.

The Italian team has made an awareness campaign against alcohol abuse. The team has also worked on mathematical aspects related to drinking: we have searched for information on the web on how alcohol concentration in blood lowers in time after drinking, so we have elaborated a mathematical funtion that could fit the data we found. We have found that alcohol concentration decay in time is exponential and it decreases of about 30 % each hour.
