Preventing Non-communicable Diseases

Around 74 per cent of mortality worldwide is linked to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic respiratory conditions, according to the World Health Organisation. Particularly in low- and middle-income nations, despite not being contagious, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have turned into a hidden pandemic that has a substantial impact on healthcare systems, economic productivity, and quality of life. Physical inactivity continues to be one of the most significant and modifiable risk factors, although a variety of factors have a role in the development of NCDs.
