Extensive experimental animal studies and epidemiological observations have shown that environmental influences during early development affect the risk of later pathophysiological processes associated with chronic, especially noncommunicable, disease (NCD). This field is recognized as the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD). We discuss the extent to which DOHaD represents the r...

Objective: The Objective of the study was to assess risk factors non-communicable diseases (NCDs) using community based assessment checklist (CBAC) form among Kashmiri adults. Methods: This a cross sectional conducted in field practice area department medicine, Government medical college Srinagar over period 3 months. Results: Among total 601, 212 (34.7%) were found have high and 398 (65.2%) lo...

BACKGROUND Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), principally cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability globally. The basic element of NCD prevention is the identification of the common risk factors and their prevention and control. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of risk factors for non-communicable diseases, i...

BACKGROUND Non-communicable disease (NCD) is increasing rapidly in low and middle-income countries (LMIC), and is associated with tobacco use, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity. There is little evidence for up-scaled interventions at the population level to reduce risk in LMIC. METHODS The Community Interventions for Health (CIH) program was a population-scale community intervention stud...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to develop assessment indicators of health education and promotion for non-communicable disease (NCD) demonstration districts in China and to identify significant factors associated with NCD health education and promotion work. METHODS Three complementary techniques were used to conduct this study in Hunan Province, China, between late 2013 and 2015. The Delphi tech...

Objectives: To investigate the level of awareness non-communicable diseases (NCD) among first and second-generation migrant Black Africans Caribbeans residing in London; their perceptions on link between diet NCDs; challenges they face regarding food choices, dietary change, physical activity.
 Design: A mixed methodology study. The quantitative data were collected using a survey questionn...

Noncommunicable disease (NCD) scenario models are an essential part of the public health toolkit, allowing for an estimate of the health impact of population-level interventions that are not amenable to assessment by standard epidemiological study designs (e.g., health-related food taxes and physical infrastructure projects) and extrapolating results from small samples to the whole population. ...

Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) has continued to pose a significant global burden, specifically regarding morbidity among young adults which not been well studied. Therefore, this study aimed assess the burden of NCD and identify correlating factors. It analyzed 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research, nationwide employing cross-sectional design linear systematic with Two Stage Sampling. The subjec...

BACKGROUND The catastrophic health expenditure and impoverishment indices offer guidance for developing appropriate health policies and intervention programs to decrease financial inequity. This study assesses socioeconomic inequalities in catastrophic health expenditure and impoverishment in relation to self-reported non-communicable diseases (NCD) in urban Hanoi, Vietnam. METHODS A cross-se...

BACKGROUND Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors are a major health threat at the global level, notably for developing countries. The tracking of cardiometabolic risk factors from childhood to adulthood is well documented. Therefore, more attention needs to be directed at primordial and primary prevention of NCDs. Given the high prevalence of NCDs and their risk factors in Ira...
