Epidemiology of the Major NCDs

 The Philippines is one of the 23 selected


countries contributing to around 80% of the total
mortality burden attributable to chronic diseases
in developing countries, and 50% of the total
disease burden caused by NCDs worldwide
(Lancet, 2007)

DIABETES
4 clinical types of diabetes
Type 1 : INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES
Type 2 : NON-INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES
who can be managed through oral anti-diabetic
medications but may eventually also require
insulin treatment to attain good blood glucose
control
Type 3 : GESTATIONAL DIABETES
who were first diagnosed to have diabetes during
pregnancy Type 4 :SECONDARY DIABETES
acquired diabetes that may be drug or chemical-induced such as those who are
being treated for AIDS or from other endocrine diseases such as hyperthyroidism.

RISK FACTORS FOR DIABETES
 High blood pressure
 High triglyceride levels
 Giving birth to an 8 lb baby
 Sedentary lifestyle

degree relatives

 Excessive thirst Excessive hunger
DIABETES
PREVENTION
 Diabetes , a lifestyle –related disease which can
be prevented through regular exercise (at least
30 min every other day) and eating a “heart
healthy” diet (i.e. low -salt ,low-fat diet)

 Excessive alcohol consumption and cigarette


smoking also increases the likelihood of

(targets 15-60 years old and above)
• Monthly breast self-examination
• Breast examination by health worker (annually) for all child-bearing
woman
• Annual mammography for women over 50 years old and above
• For certain high risk women, baseline mammography at age 35 with
repeat upon recommendation of attending physician

appropriate

 Accidents are unintentional, unexpected and undesirable
events while injuries are either intentional or
unintentional events that result in damage or harm to a
person (DOH, 2005).
 Most accidents and injuries can be avoided.
 Their effects can be reduced through measures like road safety
education, installation of adequate walkways, streetlights,
signages, and home safety management.
 In high-income countries, road traffic injuries, self-inflicted
injuries and interpersonal violence are the three leading
causes of death among those aged 15 to 44 years.
 In the same age group, there are twice as many suicides and
three times as many traffic-related deaths as homicides.
