these are illness that can be
transferred or passed on from one person
they are caused by germs that
get into the body cells and produce waste
products that are poisonous, resulting to
Among the germs that can cause
communicable diseases are:
Bacteria- are tiny, one-celled organism
that grow anywhere.
Viruses- are the smallest simplest forms
of life. They are the most common
causes of communicable diseases.
Fungi- are simple life forms that cannot
make their own food. They live in hair
nails and skin. E.g. Mushroom and yeast.
Protozoa- are simple, animal-like
organisms. Malaria is a disease caused
Colds- most common communicable disease
caused by hundreds different viruses. They
are spread through air and water.
Pneumonia- is a serious disease of the
lungs that can be caused by a virus or
bacteria. Air sacs in the lungs are filled with
fluid and dead white cells rather than air.
Influenza or Flu- caused by Viruses. This
lowers the body resistance to bacterial
Mononucleosis- “kissing disease” this is
common to young people caused by viruses
that result to high number of white blood
cells in the body. It is passed on through
direct contact such as (KISSING)
Malaria- caused by protozoa through the
bites of mosquitoes. Symptoms of this
disease include chilling, high fever, and
chronic diseases -
are diseases of long duration and
generally slow progression. The four
main types of noncommunicable
diseases are cardiovascular diseases
(like heart attacks and stroke), cancer,
chronic respiratorydiseases (such as
chronic obstructed pulmonary
disease and asthma) and diabetes.
which is not infectious
with long duration
relatively slow in progress
which a person is unaware of the disease
unless or otherwise examined
a silent killer of people
(heart attacks and strokes)
Chronic respiratory diseases – (asthma)
The number one cause of death in the
world. (more than 36 million people)
Cardiovascular diseases- 48%
Chronic respiratory diseases – 12%
More than 9 million deaths are premature
(under 60 years of age) and could be
are the top killers in the Philippines.
Of the total deaths in 2016, 57% are
due to the “fatal four” NCDs,
namely cardiovascular disease,
cancer, diabetes, and chronic
respiratory disease. It is estimated
that 35 to 50 percent of NCD deaths
occurred before age 60 years.
More Filipinos exposed to NCD
A significant proportion of
Filipino adults continue to be
exposed to the NCD risks of tobacco
and alcohol use, unhealthy diets and
physical inactivity. This makes
millions of Filipinos vulnerable in
developing NCDs in the future.
Not caused by an acute infection
Have common risk factors
Cause long-term harm
Need a long-term (or even life-long) treatment
Cause both men and women equally
Sometimes, cause disability
o Have a person in your family have one of the NCDs
o Have High blood pressure
o Have High cholesterol level
o Are obese (over weight)
o Are exposed to air pollution
o Have raised blood glucose level
o Are exposed to Environmental factors
oYOU ARE AT RISK !!!!!!!!!
Background risk factors- age, sex, level of
education and genetic composition
-cannot be changed
Behavioral risk factors- tobacco and alcohol
use, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity
-can be modified
Intermediate risk factors- elevated blood
lipids, diabetes, high blood pressure and
-can be controlled
Type 2 diabetes
40% of cancer
would be prevented
The NCDs may not be able to cure completely
Can be controlled
are preventable through effective
interventions that tackle risk factors
