Non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
Chronic diseases. Tend to Be of long duration and are the result of a combination of genetic physiological environmental and behavior’s factors. The main types of NCDs are cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and stroke cancers chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma and diabetes.
Chronic diseases typically last three months or more. Generally cannot be prevented by vaccines are cured by medications, nor do they just disappear overtime.

Hypertension
Consistently elevated blood pressure
Systolic blood pressure
The pressure in arteries and other blood vessels when the heart is contracting; the first (top) number recorded
Diastolic blood pressure (DBP)
The pressure and arteries and other blood vessels when heart is at rest or between beats; the second (bottom) number recorded
Diabetes
Chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency which impairs carbohydrate usage in enhances you such a fat and protein
Glucose
The simplest form of carbohydrate used by the body for energy
Insulin resistance
The inability of the cells to respond to insulin; occurs in type two diabetes
