commonly shared major risk
factors; unhealthy diet,
physical inactivity and
smoking
The four major non-
communicable/chronic/lifestyle
related diseases; cardiovascular
diseases, cancers, chronic
obstructive pulmonary diseases and
diabetes mellitus
There are two types of
comprehensive approach:
• Community-Based Approach
• Integrated Approach
• Health Advocate AND AS A SMART
STUDENT NURSE

condition where the pressure of the
blood against the walls of the arteries is
too high.

RISK FACTORS
Risk factors for stroke are almost the same
as those for CAD. The more risk factors a
person has, the greater the chance that he
or she will have a stroke. Some of these
factors cannot be controlled, such as
increasing age, family health history, race
and gender. But other risk factors can be
modified such as hypertension and smoking.

INVASION

S/SX OF CANCER
CANCER
Cancer develops when cells in a part of the body
begin to grow out of control. When the immune system
is intact, isolated cancer cells will usually be
detected and removed from the body. When the immune
system is impaired as in people with
immunodeficiency diseases, people with organ
transplants who are receiving immunosuppresant
drugs, or in AIDS, there is usually an increase in
cancer incidence.
ETIOLOGY

Damaged DNA - Can be


inherited, can be by
exposure to something toxic
in the environment.
RISK FACTORS
Risk factors for cancer include a
person's age, sex and family medical
history. Others are linked to cancer
causing factors in the environment. Still
others are related to lifestyle factors
such as tobacco and alcohol use, diet and
sun exposure.
MANAGEMENT
• C - check-ups regularly
• A - avoid risk factors
• N - nutrition matters
• C - comply with treatments
