Management of Life-style disorders

1.0 Background Note:

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) include diseases which are not infectious. Such
diseases mainly result from life-style related factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of physical
activity, tobacco use, etc. Changes in life-styles, behavioural patterns, demographic profile
(ageing population), socio-cultural and technological advancements are leading to sharp
increase in the prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases like Diabetes, Cardiovascular
diseases, Stroke, Cancer, etc. These diseases can be prevented by making simple changes in
the way we live their out or simply by changing our life-style. One of the most serious
concerns is that it affects people in their most productive years of life. It is, therefore, vital
that increasing importance of chronic diseases is anticipated and acted upon urgently.
NCDs have emerged as a major public health problem in recent years. It is estimated that in
2005, these chronic diseases accounted for 53 percent of all deaths in India. As a first step,
it is essential to communicate the latest and most accurate knowledge and information to
front-line health professionals and public at large (WHO 2005).

The non-communicable disease epidemic in developing countries constitutes an

enormous challenge to the governments, in which many of them are struggling with the
double burden caused by both non-communicable and communicable diseases. Realizing
the serious economic and health related impact of non-communicable diseases; the WHO
initiated a global response in the year 2000 through a global strategy. The efforts of WHO
continued in collaboration with the member countries in 2008 which culminated into
framing an action plan for 2008-2013 for the prevention and control of the non-
communicable diseases and also to evolve intervention for modifiable risk factors.

The management of NCDs is often technology-intensive and expensive. Strong

evidence exists showing that the disease burden caused by the non-communicable disease
epidemic is preventable to a large extent. It is estimated that approximately 80% of heart
disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and 40% of cancers can be prevented through inexpensive
and cost-effective interventions that address the primary risk factors [WHO/World
Economic Forum Report of a Joint Event].

During the 20th century, many diseases were eradicated or nearly eliminated
through advancement in medical science.1 Lifestyle diseases include atherosclerosis, heart

Page | 3
disease and stroke, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and diseases associated with smoking, alcohol,
and drug abuse. These disease conditions usually attribute to dramatic shifts in the way
human beings live their lives, often due to advancements in a society due to scientific
progress.

Poor life-style includes, poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, excess alcohol, poor
sleep, stress due to heavy workload. Several factors are resulting in the increasing burden
of lifestyle disease which include longer average life span, rising income, increasing tobacco
consumption, decreasing physical activity and increased consumption of unhealthy food.
The underlying attributable factors that cause these diseases are a complex web of social,
economic and cultural changes which are inevitable in this era of urbanization and
globalization. The urban people are having less physically active life-style, more exposure
to products and technologies that could be unhealthy for them.

Illnesses such as cancer of certain forms, most types of heart disease, high blood
pressure, obesity, and Type 2 diabetes are “contracted” from the way people live and are
caused by the life-style adopted by the individual, though there may be some exceptions.

All non-communicable diseases are not necessarily related to life-style. For instance,
conditions like enlarged prostate or prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are related to
longevity or age. However, life-style diseases do refer to those conditions that could be
prevented by behavioural change.

Indian Scenario
In India, rapid urbanization and globalization mainly contribute towards increased
number of people suffering from life-style disorders. Despite strong evidence of the
magnitude of this burden to human health, national and global actions remain inadequate
to tackle the preventability of its causes, and the threat it poses. India is now home to the
largest population of diabetic cases in the world, where 30 million are affected. This
number is expected to grow to 57 million by 2025.

The burden of cardiovascular disease is rising in India. Compared to all other countries,
India suffers the highest loss in potentially productive years of life due to deaths from
cardiovascular disease in people aged 35-64 years (9.2 million years lost in 2000). By 2030,
this loss is expected to rise to 17.9 million years. Health Information of India, 2005 has
identified six key sets of “risk factors” responsible for a major share of adult non-
communicable disease morbidity and premature mortality. These are:
i. Cigarette use and other forms of tobacco use in various forms
ii. Alcohol abuse
iii. Failure or inability to obtain preventive health services

Page | 4
 iv. Life-style changes (easy dietary patterns, physical inactivity)
v. Environmental risk factors
vi. Stress factors

were enhanced as relevant to chronic disease prevention, surveillance, and management.

health professionals in the management of life-style disorders.
