Name the non-communicable disease. Explain any two of them in detail
Answers
A noncommunicable disease is a noninfectious health condition that cannot be spread from person to person. It also lasts for a long period of time. This is also known as a chronic disease.
Cancer
Cancer affects people of all ages, socioeconomic statuses, genders, and ethnicities. It’s the second most-common cause of noncommunicable disease death globally.
Some cancers cannot be avoided due to genetic risks. However, the World Health Organization estimates that 30 to 50 percent of cancers are preventable with adoption of healthy lifestyle choices.
Key steps in preventing disease include:
avoiding tobacco
limiting alcohol
getting immunized against cancer-causing infections
Diabetes
Diabetes occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar (glucose). It can also occur when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
Some effects of diabetes include heart disease, vision loss, and kidney injury. If blood sugar levels are not controlled, diabetes can seriously damage other organs and systems in the body over time.
