The Causes of Three Non-Communicable Diseases in Developing Countries and Recommendations for Preventions
The causes of three non-communicable diseases in developing countries and recommendations for preventions
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are gradually becoming the leading cause of deaths in developing nations as they have been in the developed world for several decades, threatening an increasing amount of people in many low and middle income countries. A prediction from the National Center of Biotechnology Information (2005) suggests that if this trend continues, NCDs will result in 80 percent of the global burden of disease, bringing about seven out of every ten deaths in poor areas. Obviously there exists an urgent demand to dig the relevant causes of such issues out in order to control this dramatic trend when the problems are still emerging in many developing countries. It will be strongly argued here that these diseases result from a number of factors involving various facets in daily life such as diet and outside activities and are preventable if more emphasis and attention can be put on the severe situation that humans are facing. Three kinds of diseases which are considered to have the major effects will be examined: cardiovascular diseases, cancer and obesity. In the following assignment, the causes will be analyzed to show how different behaviors contribute to NCDs in developing countries before recommendations are given.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), one of the main elements of NCDs, account for a seriously increasing number of deaths and patients in almost every area of the world. Though it is visible that CVDs result from a number of factors which involve various aspects of patients’ daily lives, the major two elements for these diseases chiefly relate to behavior and lifestyle (WHO, 2012). Behavioral factors, which have been proven to have the most vital influence on CVDs, are responsible for almost 80% of these issues and are largely composed of different kinds of unhealthy individual habits such as poor diet, physical inactivity, tobacco
