Main chronic diseases
Heart disease Cancer Stroke Chronic respiratory diseases Diabetes
26
Risk factors that lead to the 4 major NCDs namely Cardiovascular dse (coronary arty dse, hypertension, stroke), Diabetes Mellitus, Cancers, and Chronic Respiratory dses (COPD, asthma).
Smoking, diet/nutrition, physical inactivity, obesity
27
Risk factors that lead to the 3 major NCDs namely Cardiovascular dse (coronary arty dse, hypertension, stroke), Diabetes Mellitus, and Cancers.
Raised blood sugar and abnormal blood lipids
28
Risk factors that lead to the 2 major NCDs namely Cardiovascular dse (coronary arty dse, hypertension, stroke) and Cancers
Alcohol
29
Risk factors that lead to the 2 major NCDs namely Cardiovascular dse (coronary arty dse, hypertension, stroke), and Diabetes Mellitus
Raised blood pressure
30
Cardiovascular dses include dses of the heart and blood vessels such as
Coronary artery dse Hypertension Stroke
31
What is a heart dse c/b impaired coronary blood flow?
Coronary Artery Dse (AKA ischemic heart dse)
32
This occurs when there is a decreased oxygen supplied to the heart muscle.
Chest pain (Angina)
33
What can cause MI, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden death?
Coronary artery disease
34
What is the most common cause of CAD - coronary artery disease?
Atherosclerosis
35
This is the thickening of the inside walls of arteries d/t deposition of a fat-like substance.
Atherosclerosis
36
What happens when there is thickening of the arteries?
There will be a narrow space in which blood flows, thereby decreasing or cut-off completely the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart.
37
Atherosclerosis usually occurs when a person has high levels of _______ in the blood.
Cholesterol - the higher lvl of bld CHOL, he higher the chance for it to be deposited onto the artery walls
38
In this disease, atherosclerosis is accelerated. Often resulting in CAD, MI, and stroke.
Diabetes mellitus
39
Risk factors for CAD
Elevated blood cholesterol Smoking Hypertension Obesity Physical inactivity
40
What is the effect of high saturated fat intake, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, androgens, and certain drugs?
Increased LDL
41
What facilitates reverse transport of cholesterol to the liver where it may be excreted and therefore prevent atherosclerosis?
HDL - protective factor against CAD
42
HDL is decreased in
Smoking Obesity Diabetes mellitus
43
What increases HDL levels?
Regular exercise Moderate alcohol consumption
44
HPN and smoking double your chance of developing what?
Heart dse if you have high cholesterol
45
Obesity and being overweight increase the chance of developing what?
High blood cholesterol High BP
46
Physical inactivity increases the risk of what?
Heart attack
47
Having diabetes even without other risk factors may lead to
Heart dse Because diabetes is an independent risk factor for CAD; diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis development
48
What is a sustained elevation in mean arterial pressure?
Hypertension
49
HPN is an intermediate risk factor for the development of what?
CVD like coronary heart dse or stroke
50
Primary HPN is attributed to
Atherosclerosis
51
Secondary HPN is usually the result of some other primary dses leading to HPN such as
Renal disease
52
What are the aging processes that increase BP?
Stiffening of arteries Decreased baroreceptor sensitivity Increased peripheral resistance Decreased renal blood flo
53
Inability to talk
Aphasia
54
What is the most common cause of stroke?
Atherosclerosis
55
This usually occurs in atherosclerotic blood vessels, this is usually seen in older and may occur in a person at rest.
Thrombotic stroke
56
What is caused by a moving blood clot usually from a thrombus in the left in the left heart that becomes lodged in a small artery thru which it can’t pass.
Embolic stroke - sudden onset
57
Most fatal type of stroke
Hemorrhagic stroke
58
What is d/t intracerebral hemorrhage or rupture of intracerebral blood vessels?
Hemorrhagic stroke
59
What is the most common predisposing factor of hemorrhagic stroke?
Hypertension
60
Other causes of hemorrhage
Aneurysms Trauma Erosion of vessels by tumors Arteriovenous malformations Blood disorders
61
Sudden occurrence, active person
Hemorrhagic stroke
62
Diabetes is also an independent risk factor for
Stroke, also strongly correlated w high BP
63
What is a rapid, uncoordinated beating of the heart’s upper chambers, that also raises risk for stroke?
Atrial fibrillation
64
IV drug abuse carries high risk of stroke from
Cerebral emboli
65
What are chemicals found in cigar, industrial agents, or smoked food? Are also produced from animal fat in broiling meats.
Polycyclic hydrocarbons
66
Found in peanuts and peanut butter
Aflatoxin
67
Chemical produced when meat and fish are charcoal broiled or smoked, tinapa
Benzopyrene
68
Produced when food is fried in fat and reused repeatedly
Benzopyrene
69
Used as preservatives in food like tocino, longganisa, bacon, and hotdog
Nitrosamines
70
Inhibits nitrosamine formation
Vitamin C in stomach
71
What is caused by an interaction between 2 factors: genetics and lifestyle/environmental factors (obesity, nutrition, lack of exercise)?
DM
72
Characterized by absolute lack of insulin due to damaged pancreas, prone to develop ketosis, and dependent on insulin injections.
Type I IDDM
73
What are other causes of IDDM?
Genetic, environment, or acquired d/t viruses (e.g. mumps, congenital rubella) and chemical toxins (e.g. nitrosamines)
74
More common, more preventable because it is associated with obesity and diet
Type II NIDDM
75
What is characterized by fasting hyperglycemia despite availability of insulin? Possible causes include impaired insulin secretion, peripheral insulin resistance and increased hepatic glucose production.
Type II NIDDM older overwt
76
Risk factor for diabetes (CHOL & BMI)
HDL <35mg/dL (0.90mmol/L) and/or TAGs >250mg/dL (2.82 mmol/L) Overweight (23) and obese (>30kg/m2)
77
Elevated CO2 in blood
Hypercapnea
78
This causes an associated increase in airway hyper-responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and cough, particularly at night or early morning.
Chronic inflammation
79
What is usually d/t chronic bronchitis and emphysema (both are due to smoking)?
COPD
80
Key areas for primary prevention of the major NCDs
1. Promote proper nutrition 2. Encourage more physical activity and exercise 3. Promote a smoke-free individuals and environment 4. Discourage excessive alcohol drinking 5. Manage stress efectively 6. Regular health check up for early diagnosis and prompt tx
81
West Pacific Regional Plan 8 key principles
1. People-centered health care 2. Cultur relevance 3. Focused on reducing inequities 4. Encompassing entire care continuum 5. Involving whole society 6. Integral to health systems strengthening 7. Consistent with global action plan 8. Flexibility thru a phased approach
