| General note | By convention non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and certain cancers. NCDs evolve from the complex interaction of multiple determinants and risk factors. Interventions need to address these determinants and risk factors simultaneously, integrating policy and public health interventions that target entire populations and communities, as well as high-risk individuals and those with early or established disease.<br/><br/> Population ageing has altered the nature of death and disease. Success in increasing life expectancy has ensured that a significant proportion of the population manage to survive the risks of dying during the perinatal period and early childhood, and has allowed chronic NCDs to overtake communicable diseases as the major cause of mortality and morbidity. While not discounting the inevitability of death, the evidence indicates that non-communicable diseases often cause death prematurely, usually after years of increasing disability and ill health.1 Objective measurement of burden of disease and death following standard definitions are needed. |
