Non-Communicable Disease Non-Communicable Disease Definitions: An impairment of bodily structure or function that necessitates a modification of the patient’s normal life, over an extended period of time.
Non-Communicable Disease Non-Communicable Disease Definitions: Diseases comprising all impairments or deviations from normal, which have one or more of the following characteristics: • are permanent • leave residual disability • are caused by non reversible pathological alterations • require special rehabilitation training • require a long period of supervision, observation or care Examples: DM, Cancer, Hypertension, Asthma, etc.

Definition of Obesity Non-Communicable Disease Obesity Obesity Obesity is defined as an increased body weight in relation to height, when compared to some standard of acceptable or desirable weight.

Non-Communicable Disease Risk Factors Obesity Obesity • Genes • Metabolism • Behavior • Environment • Culture • SES
Non-Communicable Disease Obesity Obesity Hippocrates The effects of excess weight on mortality and morbidity have been recognized for more than 2,000 years. It was Hippocrates who recognized that “sudden death is more common in those who are naturally fat than in the lean.”
Non-Communicable Disease Obesity Obesity The health consequences Cancer Gall-bladder disease Respiratory disease Obesity Hyper-tension Kidney failure Type 2 diabetes Stroke Athero- sclerosis Heart failure
Non-Communicable Disease Six target behaviors for the prevention of obesity and other chronic diseases Obesity • Increase physical activity • Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables • Increase breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity • Decrease consumption of sugar sweetened beverages • Decrease consumption of high energy dense, nutrient poor, foods • Decrease television viewing
Non-Communicable Disease Smoking Smoking
Non-Communicable Disease Smoking Smoking Composition of tobacco • About 4000 toxic substances are present in tobacco • Most important and dangerous constituents: • Nicotine • Carbon Monoxide • Tar
Non-Communicable Disease Smoking Smoking and Diseases • An important causative/risk factor for various diseases. • About 25 diseases caused/aggravated by smoking. e.g. • Lung cancer: 80-90% deaths due to smoking. Incidence 10 times more than non-smokers. • Chronic bronchitis • Emphysema: 80- 95% • Ischaemic heart disease: 20-30% deaths . Risk is twice than non-smokers • Obstructive peripheral vascular disease
Non-Communicable Disease Smoking Smoking and Diseases • diseases caused/aggravated by smoking. • Cerebrovascular disease • Cancer of tongue, oesophagus, larynx & pancreas, Gastro-duodenal ulcers • Cancer of the cervix and endometrium • Cancer of the urinary bladder • Still births, abortions • Neonatal deaths • Fracture of hip, wrist and vertebrae
Non-Communicable Disease Effects of Second Hand (Passive) Smoking(SHS) Smoking • Children • Sudden infant death • Respiratory distress • Otitis media • Adults • Discomfort, distress to asthmatics • Nicotine is detected in blood and urine of passive smokers. • Passive smoking by adults may lead to Ca-cervix, CA lung, and coronary heart disease.
Non-Communicable Disease Treatment Smoking • Drugs • Nicotine replacement therapy • Hypnotics • Group therapy • Motivation • Commitment • Determination • Effort and support in the struggle to quit smoking.
Non-Communicable Disease Preventive measures Smoking • Recommendations of WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) should be implemented. • Govt.’s responsibility for implementation of recommendations and legislation. • Ascertain the existence of smoking as health problem. • Encourage not to start smoking. • Encourage to stop smoking. • Multi- sectoral approach.
Non-Communicable Disease Preventive measures Smoking • Anti-smoking health education to general public but special emphasis to focus on children and to the occupational groups. • Highlighting the positive effects of NOT smoking and QUITING smoking. • Awareness for the rights of non-smokers. • Legislative action
Non-Communicable Disease When smokers quit Smoking Just 20 minutes after the smokers have smoked the last cigarette, their body begins an ongoing series of beneficial changes. • After 20 minutes: • Blood pressure drops to normal. • Pulse rate drops to normal. • Temperature of hands becomes normal. • After 8 hours: • Carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal • Oxygen level in blood increases to normal.
Non-Communicable Disease When smokers quit Smoking • After 24 hours: • Chance of heart attack decreases • After 48 hours: • Nerve endings start growing. • Ability to smell and taste is enhanced. • Walking becomes easier. • After 2 weeks –3 months: • Circulation improves. • Lung function increases up to 30%.
Non-Communicable Disease When smokers quit Smoking • After 1-9 months: • Coughing, sneezing, congestion, fatigue, shortness of breath decrease. • Cilia re-grow in the lungs, increasing ability to handle mucous, clean the lungs and to reduce infection. • 1 year: • Risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker. • 5 years after: • Stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker.
Non-Communicable Disease When smokers quit Smoking • After 10 years: The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker's. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas decreases. • After 15 years: The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a nonsmoker’s.
