As a whole, noncommunicable diseases account for about and cost the global community trillions of dollars in healthcare expenses. But most can be prevented.
Noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease and diabetes
are among the greatest health threats of our time.
Noncommunicable diseases have a few defining characteristics: They don鈥檛 spread from person to person. (In other words, they aren鈥檛 contagious.) They also usually last longer than a year 鈥 and often require long-term medical treatment.
You can use 鈥渘oncommunicable disease鈥 and 鈥渃hronic disease鈥 interchangeably. They mean the same thing.
And here鈥檚 an additional key piece of information to know: In most cases, NCDs are either preventable or can be managed so they don鈥檛 bring down your quality of life.
Four basic actions can help lower your risk of chronic health issues: exercise, eating right, managing stress and sleeping well.
Beyond healthy habits, there are even more measures we can take in the fight to stay healthy.
