Noncommunicable diseases
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, are not passed from person to person. They are of long duration and generally slow progression. The four main types of noncommunicable diseases are cardiovascular diseases (like heart attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma) and diabetes.
Management and Prevention Strategies for Non-communicable Diseases
Introduction. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, are medical conditions that are associated with long durations and slow progress (Figure 1).Most NCDs are non-infectious and are the result of several factors, including genetic, physiological, behavioral, and environmental factors ().According to the World Health Organization (WHO), NCDs are the leading cause of ...

The Effectiveness of Interventions for Non-Communicable Diseases in
Background Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are of increasing concern in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) affected humanitarian crises. Humanitarian agencies and governments are increasingly challenged with how to effectively tackle NCDs. Reviewing the evidence of interventions for NCDs in humanitarian crises can help guide future policies and research by identifying effective ...
A research agenda for non-communicable disease prevention and control
Non-communicable diseases contribute to 62% of total deaths in India; of concern are the preventable premature deaths, which account for a staggering 48% of mortality. The objective of this study was to establish a consensus research agenda for non-communicable disease prevention and control that has the potential to impact polices, programmes and healthcare delivery in India.
