Noncommunicable Diseases

1
Noncommunicable Diseases

• Grade 8
• Health

2
Causes of noncommunicable diseases

• Noncommunicable diseases are not spread by
  pathogens
• May be present at birth
• In other cases, noncommunicable disease may
  develop as a result of a persons lifestyle
  behavior
• May develop from the effects of substances in the
  environment
• or the cause may be unknown.

3
Chronic Diseases

• Many noncommunicable diseases are chronic-
  diseases that are present either continuously or
  off and on over a long time.
• Examples asthma

4
Degenerative Diseases

• Some noncommunicable diseases cause the body
  cells and tissue to break down, or degenerate.
• Degenerative diseases are diseases that cause
  further breakdown in body cells, tissues, and
  organs as they progress.
• Example multiple sclerosis

5
Diseases Present at Birth

• Some babies are born with physical or mental
  disabilities that are a result of genetics or
  birth defects
• The causes of many birth defects are unknown
• Some may result from harmful substances in
  environment (x-rays), lifestyle behaviors of the
  mother (alcohol), or a defect in genes ( down
  syndrome).

6
Lifestyle Behaviors and Disease

• Some diseases there are certain risk factors.
• Risk factors are characteristics that increase a
  persons chances of developing a disease
• Risk factors over which people have no control
  are heredity, age, gender, and ethnic group.

7
Risk factors

• Lifestyle behaviors are risk factors we have
  control of
• Eating habits
• Physical activity
• Sleep habits
• Healthful lifestyles can prevent, control, or
  reduce the risk of certain diseases.

8
Diseases Caused by the Environment

• These substances can cause serious health
  problems or make existing health problems worse
• Chemical waste buried in landfills creates fumes
  illness can occur years after initial exposure.
• Construction materials (asbestos) can cause lung
  disease long after exposure

9
Diseases Caused by the Environment

• Household chemicals (paints, solvents) can
  pollute the indoor air and cause health problems
• Secondhand smoke can be harmful to nonsmokers
• Improper waste disposal by manufacturers of
  household items like plastics/paint creates water
  and air pollution. Oil from cars old aerosol cans
  can pose health risks too.

10
Diseases Caused by the Environment

• Radon a colorless, odorless gas released from
  soil and rocks that contain tiny amounts of
  radium. Radon can seep into the air through
  foundations, basements, and pipes. Exposure over
  a long period of time increases the risk of lung
  cancer.
• Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas
  produced when fuel is burned. It is present in
  fumes from car exhaust and some furnaces and
  fireplaces. If fuel burning appliances do not
  work properly they can produce dangerous levels
  of carbon monoxide which can cause illness or
  death.

11

Noncommunicable Disease Projects

• This is a power point project that you will
  complete with a partner.
• You and your partner will choose a
  noncommunicable disease and research the disease.
• You will follow the power point template to help
  guide your research.
• See the guide

30
Allergies and Asthma

• As we learned before, the immune system
  responds/reacts to the presence of foreign
  substances by starting a process to weaken or
  eliminate the substance.
• Part of the process is the release of antibodies
  , which fight foreign substances in the body.
• Some people develop an allergy, or an abnormal
  immune reaction to an ordinarily harmless
  substance.

31
Allergies and Asthma

• A substance that causes an allergic reaction is
  called an allergen.
• When an allergen enters a persons body, the
  immune system reacts as though it were harmful.
• Between 40 million and 50 million Americans are
  affected by allergies
