Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report sets out the statistics, evidence and experiences needed to launch a more forceful response to the growing threat posed by noncommunicable diseases. While advice and recommendations are universally relevant, the report gives particular attention to conditions in low- and middle-income countries, which now bear nearly 80% of the burden from diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases. The health consequences of the worldwide epidemic of obesity are also addressed. The report takes an analytical approach, using global, regional and country-specific data to document the magnitude of the problem, project future trends, and assess the factors contributing to these trends. As noted, the epidemic of these diseases is being driven by forces now touching every region of the world: demographic aging, rapid unplanned urbanization, and the globalization of unhealthy lifestyles"--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This global status report on prevention and control of NCDs (2014), is framed around the nine voluntary global targets. The report provides data on the current situation, identifying bottlenecks as well as opportunities and priority actions for attaining the targets. The 2010 baseline estimates on NCD mortality and risk factors are provided so that countries can report on progress, starting in 2015. In addition, the report also provides the latest available estimates on NCD mortality (2012) and risk factors, 2010-2012. All ministries of health need to set national NCD targets and lead the development and implementation of policies and interventions to attain them. There is no single pathway to attain NCD targets that fits all countries, as they are at different points in their progress in the prevention and control of NCDs and at different levels of socioeconomic development. However all countries can benefit from the comprehensive response to attaining the voluntary global targets presented in this report.--Publisher description.

Book excerpt: This report provides information required by countries to assess their situation in face of the growing threat posed by noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). The data included add to the WHO Global status report on noncommunicable diseases 2010. They are presented in this report as country-specific pages. The WHO Global status report on noncommunicable diseases 2010 (GSR 2010) showed that NCDs are the biggest cause of death worldwide. More than 36 million people died from NCDs in 2008, mainly cardiovascular diseases (48%), cancers (21%), chronic respiratory diseases (12%) and diabetes (3%). More than 9 million of these deaths occurred before the age of 60 and could have largely been prevented. Premature deaths from NCDs range from 22% among men and 35% among women in low-income countries to 8% among men and 10% among women in high-income countries. The GSR 2010 provides a baseline for future monitoring of NCD-related trends and for assessing the progress that countries are making to address cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and chronic lung disease. It also provides a framework to monitor NCDs, focusing on exposures (risk factors), outcomes (morbidity and mortality) and health system capacity and response. This report adopts the same approach and areas of focus. It provides for the first time for each Member State estimates on the burden of NCD mortality, prevalence and trends of selected major behavioural and metabolic risk factors and the country's capacity to respond to the NCD crisis. Data in this report are drawn from multiple sources including data provided by countries, estimates developed by WHO and the results of the global survey on assessment of national capacity for the prevention and control of NCDs which was conducted in 2009/2010.

Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed. This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.

Book Synopsis Noncommunicable Diseases in the Developing World by : Louis Galambos
Download or read book Noncommunicable Diseases in the Developing World written by Louis Galambos and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a pragmatic agenda for achieving effective and sustainable global action on noncommunicable diseases in lower- and middle-income countries. Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)—including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, asthma and other chronic respiratory conditions, and cancers—are the leading causes of death worldwide. An estimated 36 million people die from such diseases each year; this represents roughly two out of three deaths globally. Eighty percent of these fatalities occur in developing countries. The statistics are staggering, yet millions of these deaths are preventable. This is an urgent global health issue that demands analysis of gaps in NCD research, new policies and practices, and actionable recommendations to close the gaps. The Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise convened an NCD Working Group of leading scholars to examine a wide range of issues that both the private and public sectors must address to make sustainable progress in NCD prevention and treatment in lower- and middle-income countries. Collected in this volume are essays on five key areas where strengthened policies and health systems can have the most impact in the near future. • Accelerating regulatory harmonization • Structuring supply chains • Improving access to interventions • Restructuring primary care • Promoting multisectoral and intersectoral action While there is a growing literature on the problem of NCDs, none of the available studies provides background on the range of challenges matched with specific steps that can be taken by the public sector, private sector, and civil society working together. Noncommunicable Diseases in the Developing World presents a framework for understanding the salience of specific policy recommendations and detailed steps that can be taken now to move forward in the global campaign against NCDs. This book will be of interest to practitioners, scholars, and students in public health as well as those framing and implementing health policies in the private and public sectors.

Book excerpt: "On the occasion of World Health Day 2016, WHO issues a call for action on diabetes, drawing attention to the need to step up prevention and treatment of the disease. The first WHO Global report on diabetes demonstrates that the number of adults living with diabetes has almost quadrupled since 1980 to 422 million adults. This dramatic rise is largely due to the rise in type 2 diabetes and factors driving it include overweight and obesity. In 2012 alone diabetes caused 1.5 million deaths. Its complications can lead to heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and lower limb amputation. The new report calls upon governments to ensure that people are able to make healthy choices and that health systems are able to diagnose, treat and care for people with diabetes. It encourages us all as individuals to eat healthily, be physically active, and avoid excessive weight gain."--Publisher's description.
