Commitee

Non Communicable Diseases :

Non-communicable diseases (NCD), also known as chronic diseases include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, stroke, most forms of cancers and injuries. Such diseases mainly result from lifestyle related factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity and tobacco use. Changes in lifestyles, behavioural patterns, demographic profile (aging population), socio-cultural and technological advancements are leading to sharp increases in the prevalence of NCD. These diseases by and large can be prevented by making simple changes in the way people live their lives or simply by changing our lifestyle.

During the year 2005, NCD accounted for 53% of all the deaths in the age group 30-59 years in India. Of these, 29% were due to cardiovascular diseases; It is estimated that, by 2020, cardiovascular disease will be the largest cause of disability and death, as a proportion of all deaths in India. In 2003 alone, in India, there were approximately 30 million people suffering from coronary heart disease. It is estimated that the overall prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, Ischemic Heart Diseases (IHD) and Stroke is 62.47, 159.46, 37.00 and 1.54 respectively per 1000 population of India. There are an estimated 25 Lakh cancer cases in India.
