Nature of Non-Communicable Diseases


Title
I. Introduction:

Disease is a particular abnormal condition and a disorder of a structure or


function that affects part or all of an organism. It is often interpreted as a medical
condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. There are two categories
of disease. Communicable disease are caused by pathogen or disease-causing
organisms and can be transmitted from one person to another or from animals to
people. Examples include common cold, influenza, cholera, dengue fever,
tuberculosis and warts. These diseases can be avoided by taking preventive
measures.
On the other hand, non-communicable disease (NCD) cannot be
transmitted from one person to another. Many of these disease are caused by
unhealthy lifestyle. Examples of non-communicable disease include
cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.

NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
Non communicable diseases are not caused by pathogens or disease-
causing organisms such as bacteria or viruses, but rather, by how people live, by
the conditions with which they are born or by the hazards around them. It also
includes diseases caused by a breakdown of the body tissues (degenerative
disease), poor diet, environmental and occupational hazards, stress and tension.
