Non-communicable diseases,
which are sometimes called “lifestyle” or “chronic diseases”, are caused by
common risk factors. The good news is that they can also be prevented by largely
shared strategies. Tobacco control, for example, helps reduce cancers, heart
disease, stroke and lung diseases – all of which are non-communicable diseases.
Improving the diet of populations will help avoid obesity, cancer, diabetes and
heart attacks – also all non-communicable disease.MNCLHD
