Engelgau, Michael MauriceEl-Saharty, SamehKudesia, PreetiRajan, VikramRosenhouse, SandraOkamoto, Kyoko2012-03-192012-03-192011-06-02978-0-8213-8724-5https://hdl.handle.net/10986/2343This book looks primarily at Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) and tobacco use because they account for a disproportionate amount of the Non Communicable Disease (NCD) burden the focus is strategic rather than comprehensive. It considers both country and regional level approaches for tackling NCDs, as many of the issues and challenges of mounting an effective response are common to most South Asian countries. The prevention and control of NCDs constitute a development issue that low-income countries in South Asia are already facing. Both country and regional-level strategies are important because many of the issues and challenges of mounting an effective response to NCDs are common to most South Asian countries, even though their disease burden profiles vary. Hence, the rationale for this book is that strategic decisions for prevention and treatment of NCDs can effectively address the future burden of disease, promote healthy aging, and increase the potential benefit from the demographic transition, thus contributing to economic development. This book's goal is to encourage countries to develop, adopt, and implement effective and timely country and regional responses that reduce the population-level risk factors and NCD disease burden.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESADOLESCENTSADULT POPULATIONAGEDAGINGALCOHOL ABUSEALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONALCOHOLISMANXIETYASTHMABASIC NEEDSBOTH SEXESBREAST CANCERBREASTFEEDINGBURDEN OF DISEASECANCERSCARDIOLOGYCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASECARDIOVASCULAR DISEASESCARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORSCHILD HEALTHCHILD SEXUAL ABUSECHOLESTEROLCHRONIC DISEASECHRONIC DISEASESCITIZENSCLINICAL PRACTICECLINICSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASECOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMPLICATIONSCORONARY HEART DISEASEDEATH RATEDEATH RATESDEATHSDEMOGRAPHERSDEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONDEMOGRAPHIC TRENDSDEPENDENCY RATIODEPENDENCY RATIOSDEPRESSIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIABETESDIABETES MELLITUSDIAGNOSISDIARRHOEAL DISEASESDISABILITYDISEASE BURDENDISEASE CONTROLDISEASE PATTERNDISEASE PATTERNSDISSEMINATIONDRUGSDURATION OF ILLNESSEARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPLICATIONSELDERLYELDERLY POPULATIONEPIDEMICEPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSISEPIDEMIOLOGYESOPHAGEAL CANCEREXPENDITURESFAMILIESFAMILY WELFAREFEMALESFERTILITYFERTILITY RATESFOOD INDUSTRYFORMULATION OF PUBLIC POLICIESGENDER BALANCEGOVERNMENT CAPACITYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEHEALTH CAREHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICIESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SURVEYSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTHY DEVELOPMENTHEALTHY LIFEHEART ATTACKHEART DISEASEHEART DISEASESHIGH BLOOD PRESSUREHIV/AIDSHOSPITALHOSPITAL BEDSHOSPITALIZATIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SIZEHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHYGIENEHYPERTENSIONILL HEALTHILLNESSINDOOR AIR POLLUTIONINEQUITIESINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFECTIONINFECTIOUS DISEASESINJURIESINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EPIDEMIOLOGYINTERVENTIONIRONJOURNAL OF MEDICINEKNOWLEDGE BASELABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLEADING CAUSE OF DEATHLEADING CAUSESLEGAL STATUSLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFESTYLESLIVE BIRTHSLIVERLIVING CONDITIONSLONGER LIFELONGEVITYLOW BIRTH WEIGHTLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMALNUTRITIONMARKETINGMATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATIOMEDICAL RESEARCHMEDICAL SCIENCESMEDICINESMENTALMENTAL DISORDERMENTAL HEALTHMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORBIDITYMORBIDITY AND MORTALITYMORTALITYNATIONAL EFFORTSNATIONAL POLICYNATIONAL POLICY MAKERSNCDNEGATIVE EFFECTSNEWBORNNONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESNUTRITIONOBESITYOLD-AGEPANDEMICSPATIENTSPHYSICAL ACTIVITYPHYSICIANSPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTIONPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HEALTHPOOR NUTRITIONPOPULATION CHANGEPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION INCREASESPOPULATION INDICATORSPOPULATION SECTORPOPULATION SIZEPREMATURE ADULT MORTALITYPREMATURE DEATHPREVALENCEPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SERVICESPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYREFRACTIVE ERRORSREGIONAL COOPERATIONREGIONAL STRATEGIESREGIONAL STRATEGYRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPIRATORY DISEASERESPIRATORY DISEASESRESPIRATORY ILLNESSRESPIRATORY INFECTIONSRISK FACTORSRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONSSANITATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSET OF RECOMMENDATIONSSEXSMALL COUNTRIESSMOKERSSMOKINGSMOKING CESSATIONSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL BURDENSOCIAL CHANGESSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SUPPORTSOCIAL WELFARESURGERYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETOBACCO PRODUCTSTOBACCO TAXATIONTOLERANCETRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERTREATMENTTUBERCULOSISUNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUNDUNMET CONTRACEPTIVE NEEDUNSAFE SEXURBAN AREASURBANIZATIONVIOLENCEVULNERABILITYWARWORKING-AGE POPULATIONWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8724-5
