Focusing on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory disease and their five shared main risk factors (tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution) as defined by the United Nations, this book provides a synopsis of one of the world?s biggest challenges of the 21st century. NCDs prematurely claim the lives of millions of people across the world every year, with untold suffering to hundreds of millions more, trapping many people in poverty and curtailing economic growth and sustainable development. While resources between and within countries largely differ, the key principles of surveillance, prevention and management apply to all countries, as does the need to focus resources on the most cost-effective and affordable interventions and the need for strong political will, sufficient resources, and sustained and broad partnerships. This compendium consists of 59 short and accessible chapters in six sections: (i) describing and measuring the burden and impact of NCDs; (ii) the burden, epidemiology and priority interventions for individual NCDs; (iii) social determinants and risk factors for NCDs and priority interventions; (iv) global policy; (v) cross-cutting issues; and (vi) stakeholder action. Drawing on the expertise of a large and diverse team of internationally renowned policy and academic experts, the book describes the key epidemiologic features of NCDs and evidence-based interventions in a concise manner that will be useful for policymakers across all parts of society, as well as for public health and clinical practitioners.$9vdunis/02.2023 606 $aNoncommunicable Diseases$3(DNLM)D000073296 606 $aChronic Disease$3(DNLM)D002908 606 $aRisk Factors$3(DNLM)D012307 606 $aSocial Determinants of Health$3(DNLM)D064890 606 $aGlobal Health$3(DNLM)D014943 606 $aPopular medicine & health$2bicssc 606 $aCoping with illness & specific conditions$2bicssc 606 $aDevelopment studies$2bicssc 606 $aIllness & addiction: social aspects$2bicssc 608 $aHandbook 610 $acancer;cardiovascular disease;chronic respiratory disease;diabetes;Noncommunicable Diseases;United Nations 615 2$aNoncommunicable Diseases 615 2$aChronic Disease 615 2$aRisk Factors 615 2$aSocial Determinants of Health 615 2$aGlobal Health 615 7$aPopular medicine & health 615 7$aCoping with illness & specific conditions 615 7$aDevelopment studies 615 7$aIllness & addiction: social aspects 700 $aBanatvala$b Nick$4edt$01277234 702 $aBovet$b Pascal$4edt 702 $aBanatvala$b Nick$4oth 702 $aBovet$b Pascal$4oth 801 0$bvdunis 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910640396203321 996 $aNoncommunicable Diseases$93010191 997 $aUNINA
