CPHM: Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) Flashcards
4 major NCD or chronic diseases or lifestyle-related disease
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Cancer
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease
- Diabetes mellitus
In the Philippines, __________________have brought about a considerable change on the health status
urbanization and lifestyle changes
influenced the spread of NCD
Globalization and social change
• Essential toll to achieve community health
• Concern with promoting health as well as reducing behavior-
induced diseases
aims to:
a. Inform the people
b. Motivate the people
c. Guide the people into action

Disease of the heart and blood vessels
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
• Defined as sustained elevation in mean arterial pressure
• Major risk factor for the development of other CVDs like Coronary Heart Disease or Stroke
• It is not a single disease state but a disorder with many causes, a variety of symptoms and a range of responses to therapy
Hypertension (HPN) or High Blood Pressure
Types of Hypertension:
No definite cause but it is attributed to atherosclerosis
Aka: Essential hypertension or Idiopathic hypertension
Primary Hypertension
Types of Hypertension:
Result from other diseases that leads to hypertension such as renal diseases
Secondary Hypertension
Hypertension (HPN) or High Blood Pressure
Risk Factors:
ü FamilyHistory
ü Age
ü Race
ü High salt intake–saltcauses
elevation in blood volume
Hypertension (HPN) or High Blood Pressure
Lifestyle Factors:
ü Obesity
ü Excess alcohol consumption
ü stress
§ It is a heart disease caused by impaired coronary blood flow
§ It is known as Ischemic Heart Disease
§ CAD can cause myocardial infarction (heart attack), arrhythmias, heart failure and sudden death.
§ Cause: atherosclerosis (thickening of the inside wall of the arteries due to deposition of fat-like substance)
ü When the coronary arteries become narrowed or clogged, supply of blooded oxygenate the heart muscle is affected.
ü When there is decreased oxygen supply to the heart muscle,chest pain occurs(angina)
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Risk Factors:
ü FamilyHistory
ü Age
ü Race
ü Sex
ü Elevatedbloodlipids(LowDensity
Prevention:
Lipoprotein)
ü Hypertension
ü Smoking
ü DM
ü Obesity
ü Stress
Loss of alteration of bodily function that results from an insufficient supply of blood to some parts of the brain.
If blood is obstructed for more than several minutes, injury to the brain cells becomes permanent and tissue dies in the affected region resulting in cerebral infarction.
One of the leading causes of disability
Weakness or paralysis usually 1 side of the body
Slurring of speech
C. Cerebrovascular Disease or Stroke
Three types of stroke
usually occurs in atherosclerotic blood vessel commonly seen in older people.
Thrombolytic stroke
3 types of stroke
caused by a clot that travels from somewhere else in the body, usually from the heart
Embolic stroke
3 types of stroke
most fatal type of stroke, rupture of intracerebral blood vessel
Other cause: aneurysms, trauma
Hemorrhagic stroke
develops when cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control. ________ cells continue to grow and divide even when there is no need to do so.
Cancer
continue to grow and divide even when there is no need to do so; they compete with normal cells for the blood supply and nutrients
Cancer cells
CA cells gets into the bloodstream or lymph vessels and can travel to other parts of the body and begin to grow and replace normal cells
Metastasis
capable of causing cancer, maybe chemical, environmental agent, radiation
Carcinogens- agent
Carcinogens Agent
are chemicalsmfound in cigarette smoke, industrial agents and in smoked foods.
Polycyclic hydrocarbon
Carcinogens Agent
produced when meat and fish are charcoal broiled or smoked, also produced when food is fried in fat that has been reused repeatedly
Benzopyrene
Carcinogens Agent
powerful carcinogens used as preservatives in foods like tocino, longanisa, bacon, hotdogs
Nitrosamines
Carcinogens Agent
UVraysfromsunlight,x-rays
Radiation
