Examples:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Chronic lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma
Stats & Facts[edit | edit source]
- Long term conditions are responsible for 41 million deaths each year , accounting for 70% of all deaths around the globe[1]
- Accodring to the World Health Oganization, Cardiovascular diseases account for most NCD deaths, or 17.9 million people annually, followed by cancers (9.0 million), respiratory diseases (3.9million), and diabetes (1.6 million)[1]
- 15% of young adults aged 11-15 have an LTC[3]
- 15 million of all deaths attributed to NCDs occur between the ages of 30 and 69 years[1]
- In Scotland, LTCs account for 80% of all GP consultations and they twice as likely to be admitted to hospital[4]
- In England, It's estimated that only 59% of people living with LTCs are in work, compared with 72% of the general population[3].
- NCDs disproportionately affect people in low- and middle-income countries[1]
Causes and Risk Factors[edit | edit source]
Unhealthy Harmful behaviour such as sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diets, exposure to tobacco smoke or the harmful use of alcohol are all contributing factors to LTCs[1].
The World Health Orgaization classified LTCs contributing factors into two categories[1]:
Modifiable behavioural risk factors:
- Tobacco (including second-hand smoking)
- Excess salt/sodium intake
- Alcohol use
- Lack of or insufficient physical activity
Metabolic risk factors:
- Hypertension
- overweight/obesity
- hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels)
- hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat in the blood)
