Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are
medical conditions or diseases that are
not directly transmissible from one person
to another. They typically have long
durations and are often influenced by
multiple factors like genetics, lifestyle,
environment, and aging. Examples include
heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and
chronic respiratory diseases,Cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks
and strokes, are caused by heart and blood
vessel abnormalities. Risk factors include
tobacco use, poor diet, inactivity, socio-
economic status, mental health, and diabetes.
Symptoms include chest pain, difficulty
breathing, and dizziness. Treatment options
include surgery, medication, exercise, and
lifestyle management.Obesity is the accumulation of body fat, a
global problem increasing the risk of health
issues. Causes include genetics, age, lack of
sleep, pregnancy, certain health conditions,
psychological factors, and medication.
Diagnosis is based on BMI and body fat
measurements. Obesity can lead to diabetes,
heart disease, high blood pressure, and certain
cancers. Treatment options include physical
activity, healthy eating, weight-loss programs,
medications, and surgery. Prevention involves
promoting better eating choices and regular
exercise.Cancer is caused by mutations in DNA cells,
with various factors contributing. Tumors can
be benign, malignant, or premalignant, with
malignant tumors spreading to other parts of
the body. Cancer types are categorized by the
type of cell they originate from. Symptoms
vary but can include weight loss, fever, pain,
tiredness, and skin changes. Cancer is
detected through techniques like biopsy and
imaging. Treatment options include surgery,
radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The
WHO's cancer policy focuses on prevention,
early detection, screening, treatment, and
palliative care]Cancer is a disease characterized by the
uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal
cells in the body. There are many types of
cancer, each with its own characteristics,
treatments, and outcomes. Cancer can start
almost anywhere in the body and may form
tumors or affect the blood and lymphatic
systems. It's caused by genetic mutations or
changes in the DNA of cells, which can be
influenced by various factors including
genetics, lifestyle choices, environmental
exposures, and certain infections.
Treatment options for cancer include
surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy,
immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by
insufficient insulin production. It affects 347
million people worldwide and is linked to
obesity and inactivity. There are three types of
diabetes, with various symptoms and
potential complications.People with diabetes
are at higher risk for respiratory and urinary
tract infections, depression, and diabetic
ketoacidosis. Testing for diabetes can be
done through fasting plasma glucose, random
blood sugar, and glycated hemoglobin tests.
Pre-diabetes can be prevented through early
diagnosis and regular screening. Primary
prevention includes healthy lifestyle choices,
while secondary prevention focuses on
managing complications. Tertiary prevention
aims to limit disability and prevent end-stage
complications.Secondary prevention for
diabetes involves
implementing lifestyle
changes such as a
balanced diet, physical
activity, and avoiding
smoking or drugs. Tertiary
prevention aims to limit
complications and
disabilities caused by
diabetes. Hypertension, or
high blood pressure, can
lead to serious health
problems and is a leading
cause of premature death
worldwide. It can be caused
by narrowing or rupturing of
arteries and can result in
strokes or renal failure.
There are two main types of
hypertension: essential and
secondaryThis content

of hypertension, including
isolated systolic
hypertension, malignant
hypertension, and resistant
hypertension. It also
mentions symptoms,
treatment options such as
rest, medication, and diet,
and lifestyle changes to
