Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are chronic conditions that are not caused by infectious agents and cannot be transmitted from person to person. These diseases are often long-lasting and typically progress slowly. Common examples of NCDs include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, and mental health disorders. Research in the area of non-communicable diseases focuses on identifying risk factors, developing prevention strategies, improving diagnosis and treatment methods, and reducing the burden of these conditions on individuals and healthcare systems. This research often involves studying the underlying causes of NCDs, such as genetics, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of interventions to prevent and manage these diseases. The goal of this research is to improve the overall health and well-being of populations by reducing the incidence and impact of non-communicable diseases.
