Meaning of Non-communicable Diseases

Non-communicable diseases are diseases that cannot be transmitted from person to person. They are noninfectious health conditions that cannot be spread from one person to another. They last for a long period of time. Non-communicable diseases are also known as chronic diseases.

Causes of Non-communicable Diseases

They have many causes but are never caused by germs, bacteria or other living organisms that attack the body. They are rather caused by:

  1. Atomic fallouts.
  2. Chemical fallouts.
  3. Physiological failure of the tissues.
  4. Brain damage.
  5. Congenital problems.
  6. Dietary imbalance.
  7. Malnutrition.
