MODES OF SPREAD / RISK FACTORS in NON-
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
1 . Globalization,
the flow of information, goods, capital and people across political and
geographic boundaries, has helped to spread some of
the deadliest infectious diseases known to
humans.[1] the spread of diseases across wide
geographic scales has increased through history.
Early diseases that spread from Asia to Europe were
bubonic plague, influenza of various types,
and similar infectious disease.
2 . Modernization. With the use of air
travel, people are able to go to foreign lands, contract a
disease and not have any symptoms of illness until
after they get home, and having exposed
others to the disease along the way.
The constant and early exposure to the computers/laptops, television may
have a harmful
impact on the eyes, heart and brain.
3 . Changing lifestyle pattern. However,
addressing the risk factors of non-communicable
diseases and lifestyle risks in the south that cause
disease, such as use or consumption of
tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy foods, is important
as well.
4 . Socio economy. The high or affluent
class may suffer from hypertension, diabetes, obesity
,etc .while the poor section is still untouched. similarly
,the waterborne diseases, vector borne
diseases and the parasite infested conditions are
more common in slums
5 . Inspiring and competitive attitude in today’s scenario has given rise to extreme
psychiatric symptoms, depression, and very rarely
even to the suicidal tendencies when unable to
bear the failures. The cardiovascular disorders are
common in this class
