What are the common types of non communicable diseases?

Common types of non-communicable diseases, also known as chronic diseases, include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These diseases generally develop slowly and persist for a long time, leading to significant health complications if not managed effectively. Lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diets, lack of physical activity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption contribute to the prevalence of these diseases. Prevention and early detection play crucial roles in minimizing the impact of non-communicable diseases on individuals and public health systems.
