BEHAVIOURAL MANAGEMENT OF NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
Keywords:
Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases, Prevalence, Management StrategiesAbstract
Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a growing global health concern, characterized by their prolonged duration and gradual progression. Unlike infectious diseases, NCDs are not transmitted between individuals but result from complex genetic, environmental, and lifestyle interactions. This review paper extensively examines vital chronic NCDs, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2, arthritis, chronic respiratory diseases, and reproductive health issues. It discusses each condition's prevalence, causes, symptoms, and management strategies. It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, and multidisciplinary approaches to increase patient result and decrease the load on healthcare organizations.
