Unit 4 - Non-communicable Diseases Flashcards
Also known as chronic disease.
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
Diseases that are not transmissible directly or indirectly from
one person to another.
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
They are of long duration and generally slow progression.
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
It is the result from combinations of genetic, physiological,
environmental and behaviors factor.
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
What are the characteristics of Non-Communicable Diseases?
- Complex etiology (causes)
- Multiple risk factors
- Long latency period
- Non-contagious origin (non-communicable)
- Prolonged course of illness
- Functional impairment or disability
- Incurability
- Insidious onset
What is a characteristic, condition, or behaviour that increases the likelihood of getting a disease or injury?
Risk Factors
T/F: The risk factors can be either modifiable or nonmodifiable.
T
In Risk Factors, surveillance of non- communicable can be difficult
because of the following:
- Lag time between exposure and health condition,
- More than one exposure for a health condition,
and - Exposure link to more than one health condition.
A risk factor that cannot be reduced or controlled by intervention.
Non-Modifiable Risk Factors
Example of Non-Modifiable Risk Factors:
- Age
- Gender
- Race
- Family History (genetics)
A behavioral risk factor that can be reduced or controlled by intervention, thereby reducing the probability of disease.

blood levels of fibrinogen
A chronic disease that occurs either when
the pancreas does not produce enough
insulin or when the body cannot
effectively use the insulin it produces
leading to hyperglycemia.
Diabetes Mellitus
It May lead to serious damage to many
of the body’s systems, especially the
nerves and blood vessels.
Diabetes Mellitus

Cancer
A generic term for a large group of
diseases due to the rapid creation of
abnormal cells that grow beyond their
usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body
and spread to other organs.
Cancer
It arises from the transformation of
normal cells into tumor cells in a multistage process that generally progresses from a pre-cancerous lesion to a malignant tumor.
