1. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) Ms. Rose Anne Jane Bartolata MAPEH Teacher

2. Non-communicable Diseases • Are not passed from person to person • Are of long duration and generally slow progression

3. Healthy Lifestyle -Defined as a way of life that promotes and protects health ad well-being.

4. Risk factors: A. Modifiable Behaviour • Unhealthy diet • Physical inactivity • Exposure to tobacco smoke • Effects of harmful use of alcohol

5. B. Metabolic/ Physiological • Raised BP • Overweight/ obesity • Hyperglycemia • hyperlipidemia

6. C. Non- modifiable Factors • Age • Gender • Race • Genetics

7. I. Hypertension • Sustained elevation in mean arterial pressure

8. Causes: • Primary hypertension- has no definite cause • Secondary- result of some other primary diseases leading to hypertension

10. Risk Factors: • Family history • Age- older person are at greater risk • High salt intake • Obesity • Excessive alcohol intake

12. Prevention: • Encourage proper nutrition- reduce salt and fat intake • Prevent becoming overweight or obese • Smoking cessation

13. II. Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 • A metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency.

14. For extreme cases, circulation of limbs is affected, potentially requiring amputation.

16. Risk factors • Family history • Overweight • Sedentary lifestyle • Hypertension • hyperlipidemia

18. Prevention: • Maintain body weight and prevent obesity through proper nutrition and physical activity/ exercise. • Encourage proper nutrition • Promote regular physical activity and exercise • Smoking cessation

19. III. Cardiovascular Disease • Include a number of conditions affecting the structures or function of the heart. They can include: a. Coronary artery disease b. abnormal heart rhythms c. heart failure d. Heart valve disease e. Congenital heart disease f. Aorta disease and Marfan syndrome

20. Causes: • Atherosclerosis • Diabetes • Hypertension • Congenital anomaly • Family history

22. Prevention: • Promote regular physical activity and exercise • Encourage proper nutrition by limiting intake of saturated fats that increase bad cholesterol, limiting salt intake, and increasing intake of dietary fiber. • Smoking cessation

23. IV- Cancer • Develops when cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control • Travel to other parts of the body where they begin to grow and replace normal tissue.

25. Causes: • Heredity • Carcinogen- an agent capable of causing cancer • Chemical and environmental agents- smoked foods, processed food • Benzopyrene –burned food • Nitrosamine – preservatives • Radiation • Viruses

26. Risk Factors: • Lung cancer- tobacco use, radiation exposure, second- hand smoke • Breast cancer- early menarche/ late menopause, age, high fat diet, obesity, physical inactivity • Prostate cancer- age, race,high fat diet, heredity • Liver cancer- viral hepatitis, cirrhosis of liver, long term exposure to aflatoxin ( peanut, wheat, soybean, corn and rice)

30. Prevention: • Smoking cessation • Encourage proper nutrition • Drink alcoholic beverages in moderation • Avoid/ control obesity through proper nutrition and exercise • The sooner a cancer is diagnosed and treatment begins the better the chances of living longer and enjoying a better quality of life.

31. V- Asthma • A chronic, inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role.

33. Causes and Risk Factors: • Host factors • Genetic predisposition • Allergy • Airway hyperresponsiveness • Gender • Race

34. Environmental factors • Indoor allergens • Outdoor allergens • Occupational sensitizers • Tobacco smoke • Air pollution • Respiratory infection • Family size • Diet and drugs • Obesity

35. Prevention: • Recognize triggers that exacerbate asthma • Avoid triggers if possible • Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended to pregnant women

38. 3. What Non Communicable disease is defined as the sustained elevation in mean arterial pressure?

39. 4. Which Non Communicable Disease is characterized by high glucose / sugar level in blood that resulted in insulin resistance?

40. 5. It is a chronic, inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role.

41. 6-8 Identify at least 3 Signs & Symptoms of DIABETES 9-10 Name at least 2 activities that would prevent NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

42. ALLERGY • is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system. Symptoms include red eyes, itchiness, and runny nose, eczema, hives, or an asthma attack. Allergies can play a major role in conditions such as asthma.
