Prevention and Control of Diseases and Disorders

(Non-communicable Diseases)

What are non- communicable diseases?

As defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), non-communicable diseases

(NCD), are those diseases that are not passed from one person to another. These
are non-infectious diseases that may be hereditary or a result of lifestyle factors
and not from pathogens. Common examples are heart disease and cancer
acquired through hereditary factors, improper diet, and other risk factors. Some
non-communicable diseases do not usually lead to death but may cause
discomfort and cause suffering.

According to the WHO, about 38 million people die each year due to NCD. Many
Filipinos die every day because of heart disease and cancer. Diabetes, arthritis,
and respiratory disorders are also among the major health concerns. The effects
of these diseases on one's health are difficult to reverse once they are acquired.
That is why it is important for everyone to know more information about NCDs
and their prevention.
What are some common Non-communicable Diseases?

1. Allergy is a condition wherein the immune system becomes hypersensitive

to something in the environment such as dust, mites, molds, plant's pollen,
food, and even to medicines. These things are called allergens.

Do you experience redness or

itching of the eyes or having runny
nose or skin rashes when you are
exposed to some allergens? If not,
you are lucky. If yes, most likely
you are allergic to any of these
things. Don't worry, allergies are
not contagious and can be cured.

Responses may be triggered through food intake, vaccines or blood

transfusion, insect sting, skin contact, or through smelling.

Symptoms of allergies include swelling of the mucus membrane, redness

and itching of the eyes, impaired hearing, rashes, and headaches. In serious
cases, it may also include difficulty in breathing.

2. Asthma is a chronic lung disease in which the passageways that allow air to
enter and leave the lungs are inflamed and
become narrow. This condition can make
breathing difficult. Asthma may not be a serious
problem to some people having this condition,
but in some cases, this can be life-threatening.
During asthma attacks, difficulty in breathing
may be worsened by respiratory disease such as cold or flu.

a. Common asthma triggers are dust and mold, pollen, cold air, weather
change, sinus infections, stress, and certain foods.
b. Symptoms of asthma may vary from one person to another. It may
include the following:
 shortness of breath
 coughing and wheezing
 whistling sound when breathing, especially when exhaling
 chest pain or chest tightness
How can we manage asthma?

 Avoid inhaling substances such as paint fumes, insecticides, and cleaning

products.
 Avoid products sold in aerosol cans.
 Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.
 Avoid stressful situations and do not exercise too hard.
 Do not smoke and avoid second hand smoke.
 Take all prescribed medications with filled stomach.
 Do not go outside in extremely cold weather.

3. Cardiovascular Disease is a disease of the

heart and blood vessels. This may include
coronary heart disease, which occurs
when the coronary arteries are narrowed
or blocked by waxy substance referred to
as plaque.

Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscles. If the flow
of the oxygen-rich blood to the heart is reduced or blocked, a serious heart
problem, like heart attack, may occur.

Arteriosclerosis and Atherosclerosis

Arteriosclerosis is the hardening and thickening of the artery wall. This may be
caused by atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis is the narrowing of the artery due to deposit and build-up of fats,
cholesterol and other substances on the arterials walls. This deposit could harden
and create plaque.

What are the ways of reducing risk of cardiovascular disease?

 Maintain a healthy blood cholesterol level and choose a heart-friendly diet.

 Avoid smoking and second hand smoke
 Maintain a healthy blood pressure.
 Maintain a normal body weight.
 Participate in regular physical activities.
 4. Cancer is a group of diseases in which cells divide in an uncontrolled pace.
Cancer is not contagious and is not caused by injuries or accidents. Did you
know that you may also acquire the disease? Anyone can have cancer.
Abnormally dividing cells can form a tumor, an abnormal growth of tissue,
which can be benign or malignant. A biopsy or microscopic examination of
tissue is done to determine if a tumor is benign or malignant.

What is the difference between malignant and benign tumor?

Malignant is cancerous. Malignant tumors can spread infection and

destruction of nearby tissues and other body parts. The process is called
metastasis.

Benign is not cancerous. Benign tumors may increase in size but do not
infect other body parts. They are typically harmless unless they are in a position
where they block normal tissues or organs.

What are the major categories of cancer?

There are four major categories of cancer

a. Carcinoma is the most common form of

cancer. It is a malignant tumor that
develops from epithelial tissue and tends to spread to other areas of the
body. Cancers of the skin, breast, uterus, prostate, lung, stomach, colon,
and rectum are examples of carcinoma.
b. Sarcomas are cancers that begin in the connective or supportive tissues,
which develop in the muscle, bone, fat, blood vessels, and cartilage.
c. Lymphomas are cancers arising in cells of the lymphatic tissues or the
immune system tissues. They are characterized by abnormal production of
white cells and decrease in resistance.
d. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow. It is characterized by an
abnormal production of blood cells, usually leukocytes or white blood cells.

What are some ways to treat cancer?

Nowadays, with modern technology,

many cancers are curable, especially if
detected at an early stage.
 a. Radiation Therapy -uses high-energy radiation to kill or damage cancer
cells. This treatment is usually performed using radiation-generating
machines.
b. Chemotherapy-uses anti-cancer drugs that kill cancer inside the body. Anti-
cancer drugs target mainly cancer cells although they may harm in healthy
cells as well.
c. Immunotherapy is the treatment where the immune system is stimulated
to fight cancer cells.

How can you reduce the risk of cancer?

a. Identify the signs and symptoms of cancer. Early detection of cancer has
higher success of treatment. The acronym C.A.U.T.I.O.N. is recommended
by the American Cancer Society. These are the signs and symptoms that
you should look out for.
C – Change in bowel or bladder habits
A – A sore that does not heal
U- Unusual bleeding or discharge
T- Thickening or lump in a breast or elsewhere
I- Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing
O- Obvious change in a wart or mole
N- Nagging cough or hoarseness

b. Have regular check-ups. Regular screening tests, like the Pap smear for
women and digital rectal exam for men, can detect cellular changes before
they become cancerous. Mammogram may be able to detect breast cancer
early.
c. Avoid smoking and second hand smoke. Cigarettes contain carcinogens,
which are substances that cause cancer.
d. Avoid too much sun exposure. Ultraviolet or UV radiation comes from sun
and frequent exposure increases the risk of skin cancer. Avoid being
exposed to sun from 10 am and 3 pm especially during summer. This is
when the sun's radiation is strongest. Wear sunscreen lotion and cream
when you spend time outdoors.
e. Eat fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants which
help repair damaged cells. They also help make your immune system
stronger.
 f. Observe the meat that you eat. A study suggests high animal fat can lead
to the development of certain cancers. Large intake of smoked foods,
salted fish and meat, and pickled vegetables increases your risk factor for
cancer.
g. Exercise and have the right weight. An over- weight body significantly
increases risk for developing cancer. Exercise helps gain and maintain ideal
weight, which is a vital defense to counter cancer.
h. Be aware of family's history of cancer. Some types of cancers go on more
frequently in certain families and can be due to genetics or hereditary
factors and family's environment or lifestyle.
i. Avoid drinking alcohol. Regular excessive intake of alcohol increases risk
factor for cancer.
j. Avoid being exposed to dangerous chemicals and airborne fibers. Know
what chemicals you are being exposed to in your work environment.
Gasoline, diesel exhaust, arsenic, coal products, vinyl chloride, radon,
asbestos, pesticides, and uranium are some of the dangerous substances
that have been found to increase risk of cancer.

5. Diabetes or Diabetes Mellitus is a disease in which the body produces little

or no insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. Why? If you
have healthy body and the blood sugar level gets too high, beta cells in the
pancreas releases insulin. This will cause the cells to take in sugar to use as
energy or store as tat. When this happens, the blood sugar level goes back
to normal.

What are the different types of diabetes?

a. Type l diabetes occurs when the

body does not produce or make
insulin. This is because the immune
system attacks and destroys the cells
that produce insulin. Did you know that Type I diabetes usually develops
during childhood and adolescence? But it can also develop during
adulthood
b. Type ll diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly use the insulin
produced. This type of diabetes is usually develops in adults.
c. Gestational diabetes occurs temporarily during pregnancy.

How can we reduce the risk of diabetes?

 Diabetes prevention is important especially if you are at an increased risk
for the disease. If not prevented, other complication may develop such as kidney
problem, blindness, heart attack, nerve damage, and even erectile dysfunction to
men. Certain factors that increase the risks for diabetes include the Four Fs: Fat
or overweight, Female, Family history, and Forty years of age or older. The
following tips can help in preventing diabetes:

 Get more physical activities

 Include fiber and whole grains in your diet
 Lose the extra weight
 Make healthier food choices.

6. Arthritis is a painful inflammation of joints that affects the muscles,

tendons, and ligaments surrounding the joints.

People can also develop arthritis, whether children or adult, due to genetic
factors and also through lifestyle like work and diet. Some foods appear to
make arthritis worse.

What are the two types of arthritis?

o Osteoarthritis normally affects

the hips, knees, and hands
with pain, stiffness, or
inflammation. It is caused by
normal wear and tear as we
age and may be worsened by
infection or injury to the joints.
o Rheumatoid arthritis
frequently appears on hands, wrists and feet, and can also affect other
body parts other than the joints. It is caused by the body's immune system
attacking the tissues of the body that leads to destruction of both bone and
cartilage inside the joints.

How can we manage and treat arthritis?

 Perform physical exercises that help strengthen the muscles around the
joint.
 Keep a healthy weight.
  Take medicines, like aspirin and some prescription medicines that will help
alleviate the pain and other symptoms.
 Take hot baths that can help reduce swelling and pain.
7. Renal Failure also known as kidney failure, is a condition where the kidney
stops to function properly causing renal insufficiency. The kidneys remove
the waste products from blood and help regulate blood pressure, balance
electrolytes, and red blood cell production of the body.

What are some symptoms of kidney failure?

Some of the symptoms of kidney failure are:

 Changes in urination - foamy or bubbly urine; urinating more often in

greater amount with pale urine; urinating less often in smaller amounts
with dark-colored urine; urine with blood; and, difficulty in urinating.
 Swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, face, or hands.
 Extreme skin rashes and itching.
 Nausea and vomiting.
 Shortness of breath, feeling cold, dizziness, and concentration problems
brought about by anemia related to kidney failure.

What are the ways to diagnose kidney failure?

Kidney failure can be diagnosed through urinalysis, urine measurements,

blood samples, imaging and kidney tissue samples.

How to prevent and manage kidney failure?

 Avoiding or limiting intake of toxic substances will help prevent kidney

failure. A key to prevent severe kidney disease is early detection and
aggressive intervention.
 Diabetes and high blood pressure are commonly associated with chronic
kidney diseases. Managing them with proper diet, exercise, and
medications may help prevent kidney failure.
 Severe kidney failures are treated through dialysis and kidney trans- plant.
These are usually on the late stages and can be lethal.
 Myth and Fallacies

What are the myths and fallacies about non-communicable diseases?

Do you believe that you are not supposed to worry about heart disease yet
because you are still too young to have the disease? Or that breast cancer is a
disease that affects women only? There are some myths and fallacies about NCDs
that we sometimes accept and believe as true. You need to be aware of these
myths because they may lead to a more serious health problems.

The list below shows some myths and fallacies about NCDs.

Myths and Fallacies Fact

“I’m too young to worry about heart Lifestyle during childhood and
disease” adolescence affects the risk of having
cardiovascular diseases later. Plaque may
start accumulating during early stages of
life and may lead to clogged arteries
eventually.
A diabetes diagnosis means you Some cases of diabetes need proper diet,
automatically need insulin. exercise, and oral medications in order to
keep it under control until insulin
becomes a necessity.
Eating too much sugar causes diabetes. In Type 2 diabetes, the body doesn't
respond normally to insulin and is caused
by genetic and lifestyle factors. Although,
excessive sugar intake can lead to weight
gain and increased chances of developing
the disease.
Only women get breast cancer. Men having breast tissue can also
develop breast cancer.
If breast cancer does not run in your 70-80% of women who get breast cancer
family, you will not get it. have no family history of the disease.
Arthritis is just aches and pain. Arthritis is common with ageing but may
develop at any age, young or old. On the
Contrary, some elderly people never
develop arthritis.
Living in a cold climate causes arthritis. Pain felt from arthritis is caused by the
rubbing of the bones and has nothing to
do with the climate.
Asthma is a psychological condition. Asthma is caused by respiratory problems
and triggered by allergens.
Many of the non-communicable diseases discussed are also called lifestyle
diseases. This means that you will acquire them if you have unhealthy lifestyle but
can be avoided or prevented if you observe a healthy lifestyle.

Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases

What self-monitoring skills can help prevent non-communicable disease?

Changing and adapting a healthy lifestyle considerably enhances people’s health.

Aside from avoiding bad vices, you should adopt and practice the following self-
monitoring skills that will help prevent and control non-communicable diseases.
1. Engage regularly in physical activities or exercise. This will help a person
attain an overall good health condition.
2. Practice healthy eating. Choose healthy food options. Avoid foods that may
increase risks of developing a disease.
3. Avoid smoking and second hand smoke. Cigarettes contain toxic substances
that damage cells in the body and cause different kinds of diseases.
4. Manage and maintain a normal weight. Obesity is one of the factors that
increase the risks of developing lifestyle diseases. Do regular exercises and
follow a healthy diet.
5. Have a routine medical check-up. This will detect diseases during the early
stages. Early detection will help control and treat the disease.
6. Learn to manage stress. Stress weakens the immune system making the
body prone to diseases. Take some breaks and engage in activities that will
help lessen stress.

What is a healthy lifestyle?

As they say, "Health is wealth." Healthy lifestyle is all about making one's health
and well-being a priority. It is a choice made by an individual, a commitment
made for his own good and that of his loved ones (Pilipinas Go4Health 2013).

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) recommends everyone to follow the

Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos for good health and proper nutrition.

1. Eat a variety of foods every day.

2. Maintain children's normal growth through proper diet and monitor their
growth regularly.
 3. Consume fish, lean meat, poultry, or dried beans.
4. Eat more vegetables, fruits, and root crops.
5. Consume milk, milk products, or other calcium-rich foods such as small fish
and dark green leafy vegetables daily.
6. Use iodized salt, but avoid excessive intake of salty foods.
7. Eat clean and safe foods.
8. For a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition, exercise regularly, do not smoke,
and avoid drinking alcoholic beverages.
9. Breastfeed infants exclusively from birth to six months, and then, give
appropriate foods while continuing breastfeeding.

Programs and Policies to Prevent and Control Non-communicable Diseases

What are the programs and policies to prevent and control non- communicable
diseases?

Pilipinas G04Health is a nationwide healthy lifestyle movement

spearheaded by the Department of Health (DOH) and its partners. It aims to
inform and encourage Filipinos from all walks of life to practice a healthy lifestyle
by making a personal commitment to physical activity, proper nutrition, and the
prevention or cessation of smoking and alcohol consumption. Through the
movement, DOH and its partners work together to promote and establish a
sustainable environment for healthy living (Department of Health 2013).

“Mag-Healthy Lifestyle Tayo”
