Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are medical conditions that are not infectious and cannot be transmitted from one person to another. They include a range of chronic diseases such as Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes, and Cancer, which often result from lifestyle factors, genetic predisposition, and environmental influences.
These diseases pose a significant global health challenge, leading to millions of deaths each year. Prevention and management strategies focus on promoting healthy lifestyles, such as regular physical activity, balanced diets, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption, to reduce the risk of developing NCDs.
