Answers
Answer 1: Introduction. Nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases (N-NCDs) are the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in most countries in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR), particularly cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Answer 2:
Lifestyle diseases are commonly caused by lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating, alcohol, drugs and smoking, which lead to heart disease, stroke, obesity, type II diabetes and Lung cancer.

What are different nutrients of food whose deficiency cause non-communicable diseases?
→determinants of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
What we eat and our nutritional status can affect
cardiovascular diseases, some types of cancer and
diabetes (see page 2). Foods, diet and nutritional status,
including overweight and obesity, are also associated
with elevated blood pressure and blood cholesterol, and
resistance to the action of insulin. These conditions
are not only risk factors for NCDs, but major causes
of illness themselves.
NCDs affect people in every corner of the world
Of 52.8 million deaths worldwide in 2010, 34.5 million were
due to NCDs, including cardiovascular diseases (coronary
heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases such as strokes,
and peripheral vascular diseases), diabetes, cancers and
chronic respiratory diseases. About 80% of these deaths
were in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); 29% of
these deaths were in people under age 60. Once affected,
people often live with the consequences of NCDs for the
rest of their lives; in 2010, NCDs contributed to 79% of
illness in the world’s population.
Populations around the world are increasingly
exposed to foods and diets that influence the risk
of developing NCDs
Globally, calories obtained from meat, sugars and oils
and fats have been increasing during recent decades, and
those from fibre-rich foods such as wholegrains, pulses
and roots have been declining. Consumption of processed
and convenience foods continue to rise rapidly in LMICs.
This nutrition transition affects dietary patterns and
nutrient intake, which influence the risk of developing
NCDs (see page 2).
Undernutrition places people at risk of developing NCDs
Undernutrition, and its effects on growth, development and
maturation, has numerous detrimental outcomes, including
the potential to increase risk of developing an NCD later
in life (see page 2).
Food systems present challenges to the prevention
and control of NCDs as well as undernutrition
Food systems have undergone dramatic changes in past
decades. It is well established that this has had implications for
nutrition, food security and environmental sustainability. Global
food system changes have also had dramatic implications for
NCDs by influencing the nutritional quality of foods that are
available, affordable and acceptable to consumers.
A more concerted response is needed for policy
actions, governance and monitoring and evaluation
In 2011, the UN Political Declaration on NCDs called for
population-based policies, multisectoral action, cross-
agency working and monitoring and evaluation. The World
Health Organization (WHO) has led the way in developing this
global response to NCDs. They have put into place a global
architecture for addressing NCDs, including recommendations
on population-based actions and monitoring frameworks
with targets and indicators. Greater coordination is needed
between this process and actions being taken to address
undernutrition and challenges in the food system at the global,
regional and national levels. NCDs have been conspicuously
absent from both the health and nutrition-related Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and other international
development agendas. At the national level there has been
a wide range of responses, but still insufficient formulation
and implementation of integrated policies, cross-sectoral
governance, and monitoring and evaluation.
