Chronic Disease Epidemiology: Unraveling the Burden of Non-Communicable Diseases

Abstract

Author(s):

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes, pose a significant and growing burden on global health. Chronic disease epidemiology plays a crucial role in understanding the prevalence, risk factors, determinants, and trends associated with NCDs. This review article explores the epidemiological landscape of NCDs, highlights key risk factors contributing to their rise, discusses the impact of NCDs on public health systems, and evaluates strategies for prevention, early detection, and management. By unraveling the complexities of NCD epidemiology, public health efforts can be better tailored to address the multifaceted challenges posed by chronic diseases.
