Noncommunicable Diseases: a Compendium introduces readers to NCDs - what they are, their frequency, their determinants, and how they can be prevented and controlled.Focusing on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease, and their five shared main risk factors (tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution) as defined by the United Nations, this book provides a synopsis of one of the world's biggest challenges of the 21st century. While resources between and within countries largely differ, the key principles of surveillance, prevention and management apply to all NCDs prematurely claim the lives of millions of people across the world every year, with untold suffering to hundreds of millions more, trapping many people in poverty, and curtailing economic growth and sustainable development.
