Non-Communicable Diseases

A non-communicable disease, or NCD, is a disease which is not contagious. Risk factors such as a person’s lifestyle, genetics, or environment are known to increase the likelihood of certain non-communicable diseases. Of these three risk factors, 50% of all non-communicable diseases are a result of poor lifestyle choices such as drug use, alcohol and tobacco use, diet, lack of exercise or stress management.

Examples of non-communicable diseases include heart disease, cancer, asthma, diabetes, allergies, stroke, and more.
